Conditional Formatting – Colour Coding Numeric Values within a table.
I am trying to create a view that will highlight numeric values based on a rule:
If the number is < 0, RED
If the number is > 0 ,Black

I tried XHTML with the following code:
<span style=" <% If([STAFF COST DIF] < 0, "color:red", "color:green")%> ">
<% Left(ToText([STAFF COST DIF]), ".") %>
</span>

This converts the number to TEXT, now I have lost the digit grouping and Currency symbol and this display poorly.

Seeing that we have the option to select “Display in Bold”, can’t we also have an option to add conditional formatting rule?

@Jacques please try to use Format() function instead of ToText()

<span style=" <% If([STAFF COST DIF] < 0, "color:red", "color:green")%> ">
<% Format([STAFF COST DIF]) %>
</span>

or following simplified form:

<span style=" <% If([STAFF COST DIF] < 0, "color:red", "color:green")%> ">
<%= [STAFF COST DIF] %>
</span>

Thanks Slava, much better.
Is there a way to do a "Justify Right"? It is still a bit messy to read as it is currency.

@Jacques I guess no. Anyway Formula-XHTML allow you to colorize cell in "table" view only, it will not help with summary/crosstab view that you've on an attached screenshot.

Hi Slava,

Will color formatting work with summary columns?

Thanks

@Martin if under summary columns you mean "Columns to calculate" section from summary/crosstab view then answer is no, otherwise Formula-XHTML column allows usage of any column in it.
