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!

Need results with a NULL field.

Asked by dsabine in Crystal Reports Software

Tags: , ,

I have a report that shows me labs my company has run for a specific time period. The labs are usually run for a surgeon but not always and thus the surgeon (tbldoctors.lastname) field is sometimes NULL. I need to get the results for a specific time period regardless of the fact that this field might be null so that we can see all labs performed. I am attaching the SQL statement created by Crystal below as a CODE SNIPPET

My results are as follows for 6/1/08 - 10/10/08
-1- If I remove the tbldoctors.lastname field, I get 20 labs for the time frame
-2- If I leave the tbldoctors.lastname field, I get 13 labs for the same time period

I tried the following formula field to try to get the NULL fields to return "n/a" but I get the same 13 results:

if isnull ({tblDoctors.LastName}) then "n/a" else
{tblDoctors.LastName}

Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.Start Free Trial
