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!

extract a named area from Microsoft Excel XML file

Asked by tirandagan in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: area, named

It turns out that when you create a named are in excel, each cell get the name as a tag when you save the file as an XML. Here is an excerpt of the EXCEL file save as an XML:

                  </Row>
                  <Row ss:Height="15.75">
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s92"/>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s22"><Data ss:Type="String">IT Team Tasks</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s27"/>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s28"/>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s29"><Data ss:Type="String">days remaining</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s30" ss:Formula="=ROUND(R[3]C/8,0)"><Data ss:Type="Number">125</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="days_remaining_estimated"/></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s31" ss:Formula="=ROUND(R[3]C/8,0)"><Data ss:Type="Number">125</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="days_remaining_estimated"/></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s31" ss:Formula="=ROUND(R[3]C/8,0)"><Data ss:Type="Number">125</Data><NamedCell ss:Name="days_remaining_estimated"/></Cell>
...
                  </Row>
                  <Row ss:Height="15.75">
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s92"><Data ss:Type="String">hide this line</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s27"/>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s27"/>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s34"/>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s35"/>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s30"><Data ss:Type="Number">1</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s36" ss:Formula="=RC[-1]+1"><Data ss:Type="Number">2</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s36" ss:Formula="=RC[-1]+1"><Data ss:Type="Number">3</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s36" ss:Formula="=RC[-1]+1"><Data ss:Type="Number">4</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s37" ss:Formula="=RC[-1]+1"><Data ss:Type="Number">5</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s36" ss:Formula="=RC[-1]+1"><Data ss:Type="Number">6</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s36" ss:Formula="=RC[-1]+1"><Data ss:Type="Number">7</Data></Cell>
                        <Cell ss:StyleID="s36" ss:Formula="=RC[-1]+1"><Data ss:Type="Number">8</Data></Cell>

Can you help me with producing an XSL sheet that will extract all the cells in a row that has a particular name (in this case it is "days_remaining_estimated"). Can you show me how to extract the data from two named areas (also "days_remaining_calculated" found elsewhere in the XML file).

How you output is not important, it could be:

<days_remaining_estimated>
   <data>125</data>
   <data>125</data>
   <data>125</data>
   <data>125</data>
</days_remaining_estimated>

<days_remaining_calculateded>
   <data>125</data>
   <data>125</data>
   <data>125</data>
   <data>125</data>
</days_remaining_calculated>

I am providingin max points so that you completely document your work and explain the XSL: I am trying to learn XSL so I need a quick up-learning curve. Thanks!
