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!

Excel Manipulation Revised

Asked by cashewx in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Miscellaneous Programming

Hey EPAC, hopefully you're still here. I wanted to revise my previous question to make it a little more detailed. The initial question can be found here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Office_Suites/MS_Office/Excel/Q_23617818.html

Previously, we had created a spreadsheet that changes color according to data. For an example, please see the link above. My idea was to create an average number for a row based on the data.

1) Create an average for the data in B1 - B80. When data is input into B81 the cell color changes according to the size to the previous average of that row. So if the data input was below 5% it would turn red. If the data was above 5% it would turn green.

2) I want to take the concept of 1) and expand it a little bit. I would like the cell to turn red if the average is below 5%. Anything above I would want to turn green. Previously it was set to turn red below 5% and green above 5%. Anything in between and no color would appear. Coming from a programming perspective:

IF data = <5% color = red ELSE color = green.

3) Previously this was applied to the whole column, for example all of B. However, the first column (A) lists the date on the side followed by the amount. After each month I would like a break in the middle that displays the average for that month. However, I do not want each month's calculated average between cells to have a factor in the data manipulation. Basically, just a visual aid. So lets say I have two months.

9/1  450
9/2 430
etc....
9/30 460
9/31 480
September Average = 455 <--- This number does not factor into the data average
10/1 540
10/2 520
etc....
10/30 580
10/31 545
October Average = 560 <--- This number does not factor into the data average
 
Thank you so much, I'm illiterate when it comes to Excel, but I have ideas! :-)Start Free Trial
