Is anybody checking my work?

[Superstar31]

So I've been busying trying to sharpen my basic excel skills by answering basic excel questions on this site.... with that being said... As great as i think i am, it would be nice to know if there are better ways to answering some of the questions I've answered (minus macros... I hate macros)

So.... is any admin or other qualified person making sure i've not giving all these people horrible wrong advice?

I just realized I probably posted this in the wrong section.. whoops!

Hello Superstar31 (whatever happened to Superstars 1 to 30?)

I haven't been around here too much recently so perhaps I'm not best qualified to comment on your specific ouevre......but in general these things are normally "self-corrected" by the contributors here - you wouldn't manage 300 posts of "wrong advice" without some other posters jumping in and correcting you....so unless that's happening on a regular basis I think you can assume that you're doing a good job

Keep on "excelling"!

Also, you can see the number of views a thread has in the forum thread list. I would guess several of those views are from experienced contributors and MVPs. Someone will surly point out any gross error.

Keep up the good work.

All I'm going to say is... There can be only 1... lol

And you'd be suprised how many post you can have if you just say it with CONFIDENCE!

Ok cool, just wanted to make sure I wasn't making things harder or teaching people bad habits!

Sometimes attention isn't a bad thing! plus i'm actually interested in seeing simpler ways of doing things... i've always been known to overcomplicate things

side note.... How do I get Excel Jeanie in english?

blasphemy


Also if the OP doesn't come back saying it does not work, then you can assume you have done what's needed

Just remember because you do something 1 way and someone else posts a completely different answer, you are not wrong. With Excel there can be dozen if not hundreds + ways of doing the same task.
