Hi Cadavre,Your response definitely shows a path to move ahead, thanks a lot for that.
But on the other side, it was very rude. It will discourage people from putting any questions to the forum.
To underline, this was not my tution assignment or homework which I wanted to get done from the forum (read spoonfeeding).
To create an example, I suggested RankID as 3 and 4 but it is not limited, RankID's can be in thousands, so I will not be writing thousand CASE staements...
What sounds like a cakewalk to you might be a bit 'tricky' for others, as all fingers are not same!
But in the end, I would like to appreciate your effort spent in posting a detailed reply.
Thanks and Regards.
Gosh, this is unexpected.
Cadavre could easily have posted his solution without any explanation. Many of us do. That's spoonfeeding. Instead he has taken the time (his own time, for free) to break the solution down into parts and explain to you in some detail how each works so you can understand it. Next time you face a similar problem you will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skill to tackle it yourself, without seeking assistance from others. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day - teach him how to fish and you feed him for the rest of his life."
Cadavre's solution is a good example of the exceptionally high standard of assistance he offers to posters here. It's certainly not rude, and neither will it discourage others from seeking help on ssc.
Apologies to forum,
1. I appreciate Cadavre's effort. In one of my previous post also I appreciated him but I just tried to explain that a thing can be easy for someone and tricky for others as it depends on the personal intelligence level, so that should be respected. I just wanted to highlight this, nothing personal against Cadavre.
2. I tried and finally posted my solution as well in my last post.
I hope this will rest here. Cheers.
Regards.
