The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Add/Remove Pie Chart Data Labels thorugh VBA

Tags: Microsoft, Excel, 2003, Pie Charts Data Labels through VBA
How can I add/remove the data labels on a pie chart through VBA?  I am attempting to make a template for all of my managers to use. However, they will not all use the same categories, so I  am trying to create an "update button" that will either add or remove the data labels based on if the category was used or not...

I have attempted to piece together some code, that isnt quite right... it will update the labels correctly IF you add them to the chart first and then start add/deleting values, however you have to manually add the labels...
