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!

Can we format a decimal number in XSL?

Asked by ipjyo in XSL Formatting Objects, Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT), Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Hi,
I have a decimal value coming from xml and my xsl writes that value to a text file.
I have the following piece of code in XSL.
my question is can we format this value in XSL before writing it to the text file.
I need to format this decimal value to contain a total of 9 digits and
the formatted value should not contain the decimal place "." instead the whole number portion and the decimal number portion will be concatenated as follows and 0's should be appended to the whole number part and the decimal number part as needed so the final value will consist of 9 digits. Any ideas to get started are greatly appreciated. It looks like very tricky to me.
Thank you!

Original value  --   Formatted value    
7.502000      --    007502000
17.502000      --    017502000
7.80      --    007800000
100.00      --   100000000
