Conditional Formatting On Text Color In Group Footer
Oct 19, 2007
Hello,
I am having a problem trying to do some conditional formatting on the text color.
This textbox is in the Group Footer so i essentially want change the color to red if the SUM of one field in the group is less than the SUM of another field in the same group.
I am doing this:
=Iif(Sum(Fields!YTDChargeHours)< Sum(Fields!YTDForecast), "Red", "Black")
but i am getting this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜YTDChargeHours€™ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
I have a chart with series that needs conditional colour for three conditions. One condition must be transparent. I have tried the various IFF or SWITCH expressions below and some work fine in SSDT but when I deploy them to the browser the formatting is lost. This simple IFF expression works. The series is transparent as required both in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) and IE11 and Firefox browsers but I need two other conditions.Â
Both of the expressions below work in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) as expected but when deployed to the browser none of this formatting is rendered and all series are in blues even the ‘transparent’ series. No red at all.
I have tried deleting various files RDL and DATA. I have tried uploading the file from report manager in IE and I have tried editing the file in report manager.
I have a problem with a conditional format of the Color property in a matrix report. When the value of the textbox is greater than 0, the color should be Red otherwise it should be Blue. This is implemented via an IIF statement and works perfectly in Preview in Visual Studio 2005.
When the report is deployed, the formatting appears to be ignored and all values are the default value of Black.
Anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, is there a workaround?

I am using matrix in my report with calculated fields, for example I have 3 columns : Actual amount, Budget and Variance. Variance should be in Red if it is negative. I can set up an expression to change the color on the row level, but not in Subtotal ot Total row. I cannot use sum of Fields! values, because Budget amount is also calculated field based on the "Category" value which is columns group on the matrix.
So anyway, if I am trying to reference ReportItems!Variance.Value in Subtotal Level, it gives me an error about group scope.
How can I access the cells values in subtotal and total group levels? If anybody knows any tricks for this fairly simple task?
My Expression in the data fields inside design mode is:
IIF(Fields!Row_num.Value mod 2 ,"White","LightGrey")
I am using a Dense rank Function at the dataset level in order to group id column wise. So Fields!Row_num.Value comes from that set.
Earlier it was BLANK values: Please see below for reference.
Tried IsNull on SQL Server already and does not work because there are no NULLs in the data I am retrieving. The empty cells happen when the matrix creates the crosstab report - where there is no data for a column. Everything else works well except the BLANK values being not colored as you see in the screen shot, im using ISNOTHING function to achieve those 0's if NULLS inside the report. But though we have a value inside the cell coming from report it does not colour the entire group.
My requirement is coloring the entire column group irrespective of the NULLs' or Blanks.
Have also tries several functions, but of no use. I am missing with a tiny thing I guess which I am unable to figure out.
Other Functions Tried:
=IIF(VAL(ReportItems!ROWCOLOR.Value) MOD 2,"WHITE","LightGrey") =iif(RunningValue(Fields!City.Value,CountDistinct,Nothing) Mod 2, "LIGHTBLUE", "SILVER") =iif(RunningValue(Fields!DQLogDateTime.Value,CountDistinct, Nothing) MOD 2, "LightGrey","White")
I've been having a problem getting the font-color right on a matrix subtotal. I searched around but could not find anything else describing the issue I'm having. Basically, the problem is stated as such:
IF a matrix subtotal row has conditional coloring based on the data, THEN changes to the subtotal format via "the green arrow" like bordercolor, backgroundcolor, fontstyle, etc, override the conditional formatting.
This only happens when the report is deployed and viewed in a browser. In Visual Studio, the formatting appears as one would expect.
It also only happens when the color is determined conditionally. If the color is explicitly stated, the subtotal format behaves.
Heres a better example:
I was making a matrix with a subtotal that has the classic "red color when the revenue amount is negative" situation:
All data cells, whether in subtotal or datasection, would be red if the revenue amount was less then zero. At this point, the matrix was almost newly created and this was the *only* formatting applied so far.
Next, I changed the subtotal formating with the green arrow, giving the total and subtotal cells a grey background.
At this point, the report looks fine in the Visual Studio Preview. A negative subtotal is still red. But, when deployed and accessed via IE, the subtotals are black (default) no matter what.
Is this a known issue?? It seems like a bug to me, not a feauture, for at least a couple reasons:
It only happens in a deployed browser, not the designer. It only happens w/ conditional formatingThe version I'm using is 9.00.3215.00. I also checked on another box w/ version 9.00.3054.00 and it looks like the same problem.
For now, I'm working around it by keeping the subtotal formatting absolutely clean. All formating done in the subtotal is done through =IIF( INSCOPE("...") , , ) checks. This is annoying because the matrix I'm working on isn't anywhere near as simple as the example above, it has crazy row and column groupings with numerous subtotals and pre-existing conditional border/background/color formats. Any ideas?
hey there I have a series of finacial reports. the girls that work on them want color and the boss wants them to print in black and white. the color back grounds print grayscale so I would like to add a link of some sort that changed the background to transparent when they want to print a report.
hu guys, I am trying to change the colour of the background of each row in a table depending on the month it is. I have tried putting the expression =IIF(Datepart("month",Fields!AppDate.Value) = Datepart("month",Now) ,"Green","Red") in the backgroundcolor forthe table row, but it doesn' work.
do you have any suggestions ? or can see why this isn't working?
and a matrix that has row groups; item,type,origin,unit column groups : supplier and price as detail.
this has been achieved
example:
freshegg bestdeal freshmarket Eggs small lo ea 1 2 2
now i want minimum price to be highlighted.
the minimum price on that row to be for example red. I am currently trying in color properties set it like this:
=IIf(Fields!price.Value = Min(Fields!price.Value, "matrix1_unit"),"DarkRed","Black") where matrix1_unit is the last row group, but this is not working right,
I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value.
I have an SSRS report that I want to use conditional formatting on. When the value of the cell = 0, I want the background yellow, and the font red. For the background, I have:
=IIF(Fields!reads.Value = 0, "Yellow","White")
For the font color, I have
=IIF(Fields!reads.Value = 0,"Red", "Black")
The issue is that the background one is working properly, while the font one is not. If the value = 0, the font is invisible. The value is present in the report (I can export to excel and see it just fine). If I change both the background and font to the defaults, the value is STILL invisible.
I am trying to hide a column in a matrix table. I have no trouble using conditional formatting to control the visibility of the column, but when I hide the column the main row in the matrix does not shrink. Therefore, I have a big gap€¦ My thought was to use conditional formatting to control the column width of the main matrix row. Listed below is the expression that I used. Can anyone help me with the error message or recommend a better solution?
=IIF(Fields!FiscalYear.Value = IIF(Month(TODAY()) = 10-12,Year(TODAY()) ,Year(Today())-1), 0.625in, 0.25in) cannot be parsed as a unit because it does not contain numeric values. Examples of valid unit strings are "1pt" and ".5in".
I have a column that contains either a test score or the state abbreviation where the student passed a particular test. I want the text to be red between 100-159, green greater than or equal to 160 and black otherwise.
This is what I've tried to take care of the scores:
=IIf(Fields!Score.Value <= 159 and Fields!Score.Value > 100,"Red", "Green")
Two issues: I want all other scores (< 100) to be Black and I'm not sure how to deal with the state abbreviations. I'm assuming this is why I receive this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜Score€™ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. Preview complete -- 0 errors, 1 warnings
I am trying to format a background color based on the field's value. But the expression always returns the false result. Here is the expression I am using
Both fill the background color blue when the textbox clearly contains RSB. I'm not sure why it cannot find the value. The field data type is Char(4). The textbox values are all uppercase.
This all started when I was trying to use a report parameter for conditional formatting and I realized that it wasn't working. I broke down the expression by directly trying a value.
I have a report that when the user drills down I need to change the formatting to include borders and/or colours. I tried adding the following statement to top border of the element without luck. Since I don't know when the detail is the last line of the drop down, I am uncertain how to try adding it there.
I do not want the underline to show when there is no expanded drill down.
=iif((Previous(Level) > 0, "Dotted", "None")
g1 name1 total1
g1 name2 total2
d po#3a total3a
d po#3b total3b <<-- want to add underline between total3b and total3
I have a report I am creating in sql reporting services 2005 and what I am trying to do is have a single text box with multiple lines of data format each item in the textbox to specific parameters but I have not been able to figure it out. I tried to format my data on the sql side so that it cam out as follows:
tried Monday, Nov. 26, 2007 "Color = Blue FontWeight = Bold " & John Doe & CHAR(9) & "Color = Red FontWeight = Normal " & Jane Smith & CHAR(9) & "Color = Black FontWeight = Bold" John Roberts This did not work
so then I tried Monday, Nov. 26, 2007 "FontColor = Blue FontWeight = Bold " & John Doe & CHAR(9) & "FontColor = Red FontWeight = Normal " & Jane Smith & CHAR(9) & "FontColor = Black FontWeight = Bold" John Roberts
Still did not work What my end result needs to be in a single text box... Monday, Nov. 26, 2007 John Doe Jane Smith John Roberts
If anyone has the answer thanks ahead of time. Mike

Rolling 12 Month Average 477 2.9 3.3' I can get the row colors to work great with an expression, but when I try to add the gray column with conditional formatting for the Resident's Overall Satisfaction Rating question, it clobbers my row formatting. I am thinking that I will have to do some gnarly expression in each of the rows and columns using the InScope function. Does that sound about right, or is there an easier way?
Does anyone know how to implement conditional formatting with three criteria (e.g. If a value is <83 then BGcolour Green, between 83 and 90 the BGcolour is Yellow, greater than 90 the BGcolour is green).
I have tried approaching it in two ways. One was with a case statement as follows:
CASE
WHEN TargetPer < 83 THEN 'Red'
WHEN TargetPer >= 83 AND TargetPer < 90 THEN 'Yellow'
WHEN TargetPer >= 90 THEN 'Green'
END AS BGColor
TargetPer being the value i wish to examine. I returned this in the query dataset i am using to populate the report. I then used the following expression to set the backgroundcolor property:
=Fields!BGColor.Value
Unfortunately I get no yellow fields for the appropriate values (even though the BGcolor value says yellow!!!)
The other approach i have used is the following expression to set the background colour
=IIf(Fields!TargetPer.Value>90,"Green",IIf(Fields!BGColor.Value>=83 and Fields!BGColor.Value <=90, "Yellow","Red"))
For this i still have no yellows just reds and greens!
I am using a matrix report that has subgroups on the columns for table!
SQL Server 2000. Here's what I have so far. The section of the query I need help with is highlighted in blue.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetByVersion ( @targetVersion varchar(30), @product varchar(50) ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE (product = @product) AND CASE WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='') ELSE (targetVersion LIKE @targetVersion + '%') END GO
I get a syntax error in the Stored Procedure editor on an equal sign in this line: WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='')
What I want is this (in psuedocode): if @targerVersion is blank search for records where the targetVersion column = blank else search for records where the targetVersion column starts with @targetVersion
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might modify my query to do what I want? Any help is very much welcome - Thanks in advance! :-)
MDC1 DrgDesc1 Chronic 50 Other 25 Total cases for DrgDesc1= 75
DrgDesc2 Chronic 20 Other 33 Total cases for DrgDesc2 = 53
etc....
I have everything working up to the Total cases for each DrgDesc. I tried adding a group footer to the Cases row, however this sub-totals for Chronic and Other rather than summing them together. Example is below.
MDC1 DrgDesc1 Chronic 50 50 Other 25 25 DrgDesc2 Chronic 20 20 Other 33 33
I want to display a concatinated value of strings (DB field) having a "/" in between, for each group separately in the group footer.I tried using custome code.I was calling that code in detail.In detail it was showing correctly i.e running concatenated value for each record.But when i used the same global variable in group footer it's taking previous group's concatenated value and first groop footer shows a blank string.I guess its because groop footer thing is getting executed before the detail part.so can you please give me any solution for this.
