Conditional formatting not quite working
I have a form that is generated by a query. The query is populated via
table. I want all values in the report that are over 1.99% to show up as red. Those values at 1.99% and lower should show up as green. IOW, percent values from 0 to 1.99% are good values and show green. Anything at 2% and over is bad, and should show up as red. I've created conditinal formatting in several different ways, using the options available under conditional formatting. It seems that no matter what I select, greater than, equal to, etc, all the values change to whatever the cond format is supposed to be. Just seems the cond formating is not evaluating each value. Should this be placed into the query somehow? Kind of confused on this one. Thought it would be straight forward formatting. chris |

That's not a lot of time to wait for someone to reply. We're all just volunteers here with busy lives, just like you. Perhaps if you had included in your message your exact conditional formatting expression someone might have been willing to reply to the specifics of your case, rather than take the time to respond in a general way. You're trying to color the control in a Report so that's where the conditional formatting is done. Sounds as though you are using Field Value Is to determine the formatting rather than Expression Is. But then, I can't see your computer so that's as a guess. What are the actual field values used to represent the 1.99% in the report? 0.0199? Perhaps if you use Expression Is you will get a better result. First Set the control color to Green. Then: Condition1 Expression Is [ControlName] 0.0199 Select the Red color -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail |
