Alternating row fill

I am using ID CS3 to make a 90 page document of tables, though I am formating the tables as tabulated text (size: 7 pt; linespace: 8.455 pt). I am attempting to put in a background pattern for each 5 alternating rows that would (ideally) line up under each set of five rows in the document. Any tips on how to accomplish this? I can come close, but after a few pages the background patterns have already drifted down to the middle of a row.

Yes, I should have mentioned why I don't use the convert to table option in my CS3. Firstly, it increases the size of the document from 13 MB to over 60 MB (though there is probably a way to get this a bit smaller). Second--though I have not muddled around with the table options for several years--I found it unnecessarily tedious to have to reformat my tables every month when I put in the new data. Back when I did try the table option, there no adequate style sheets. Perhaps the newer versions have them.
So using just tabbed text with a background of alternating filled rows works faster and keeps the file smaller. Just have to figure out a way to get that background fill to fit properly.

Alternating table fill style and cell style (CS3)

Hello,
I have a problem with alternating rows.
When I apply alternating row fills in a table,
it only seems to work if I don't use any cell styles.
As soon as I apply a cell style, the fill defined in the table style disappears.
I tried setting the fill in the cell style to 'none' and to 'ignore',
but it still is overriding the table style apparently.
Is this normal? Can something be done about it?
Or should I apply different cell styles for every other row?
How could I do that easily?
I don't find anyway to select multiple non-adjacent rows.
Thanks for any help.
InDesign CS3, WinXP.

Z, I had a similar problem. The two provide contradicting info for some reason and program grabs just one. I would remove the cell style and work with just the table style. Set the fills in the table style then apply a cell style if you want to align only the text within. Hope this helps.

Can't get alternating rows style to work

I have a spreadsheet in Numbers for iPad that I'm trying to style with alternating row colors. I don't even really care if its just gray and white, but I would like any form of alternating shades since I have a ton of data in one spreadsheet. It seems that no matter what I do on the settings, though, I can't get it to work. I tried changing the background of all the cells to no fill, then to white, then to gray...none of that seemed to make any difference. I also tried to select one of the pre existing styles and tried to apply that to my table and that also didn't seem to work. If anyone out there has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Alternating row color

I have a spreadsheet and the alternating row color only works down to a certain row. I can't copy the style, etc. Tried turning it off and then back on and that doesn't work. Also when I copy a cell from a blue row to a white row it retains the blue color for that cell on the white row. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Select all the rows that are not showing the alternating colour fill and go back to the inspector and set colour fill to NONE. Don't select the header column, if any, as the colour fill will be removed from that too. The copy and paste including the colour is normal behaviour, you can use Edit > paste values instead
Have a good day.

Want robust solution for alternating row color, resetting every group

I would like a solution for displaying an alternating row color for my detail rows that resets every group, so that row 1 is always gray.
Our Crystal designer provided this code to me:
@rowcnt formula, suppressed, placed in Detail row:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
rowcnt := rowcnt + 1;
@resetrowcnt, suppressed, placed in Group row:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
rowcnt := 0;
Formatting formula, placed in Color in Detail > Section Expert:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
if Remainder(rowcnt, 2) <> 0 then
color(241,241,241)
else
crWhite
This was working fine for me.
However, it is suddenly not working in one of my reports.
The report does happen to have two groups (rowcount.png).
When the report is run, all rows are colored (rowcount02.png).
This report was previously working fine! I'm not sure what changed.
In any case... surely there must be standard code to do this very standard formatting.
I would be very grateful if someone could post some robust code to accomplish the following:
REPORT DATA IN DETAIL ROW, ALTERNATE ROW BANDING:
- Data in Detail row displays alternating row colors
- Odd rows are always shaded, even rows not
- Banding resets every group / does not continue pattern from previous group
REPORT DATA IN GROUP ROW, ALTERNATE ROW BANDING:
Some of our reports place row data in a group row (just the way it happened).
If you could also modify your code in this case.
Thank you!

Hi Abhilash/Sastry, since I'm going to switch to Sastry's formulas, could you please confirm correctness of the following. I can't actually run this report, I can only provide it to our London office, bit of a lag for testing.
@resetrowcnt:
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar cnt:=0;
@rowcnt:
Whileprintingrecords;
if {HedgeDetails.StrategyID} <> previous({HedgeDetails.StrategyID}) and
{HedgeDetails.DealID} <> previous({HedgeDetails.DealID}) then
Numbervar cnt:=cnt+1;
Details section (Suppress):
not(OnFirstRecord) and
{HedgeDetails.StrategyID}=previous({HedgeDetails.StrategyID}) and
{HedgeDetails.DealID}=previous({HedgeDetails.DealID})
Please note: Suppress checkbox is selected AND the above formula is entered.
Details section (Color):
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar cnt;
if cnt mod 2 <> 0 Then color(241,241,241) else crwhite

Report Template - Standard, Alternating Row Colors

I'm using APEX 4.1.0 and theme 22 on Oracle 10g.
I have some tabular forms in my application. For 2 of those, row deletions are allowed and I have the usual select box column to manage the row deletions. Also my users like the "Standard, Alternating Row Colors" report template and would like to see the alternating row colors whenever possible. Unfortunately I get the "Error on page." browser error in IE when I check a row selector box using this template. When I use a different report template I don't get this error.
The tabular form functions correctly so this error is harmless, but I would like to know what it is for. I'm sure my users would rather not see that error.
By the way, in Firefox the firebug error count increases and I get the following error in the console:
TypeError: can't convert undefined to object
[Break On This Error]
...ovedColor)}gLastRowMoved=b}function html_RowUp(e,d){var c=$x_UpTill(e,"TR");ie_R...
apex_4_1.min.js (line 18)Because all of the whitespace has been helpfully removed :) it's hard to see which expression is undefined and why.
Any ideas?

Hi Jackie,
There must be some issues the apex_4_1.min.js file, try to reload it. In apex.oracle.com the tabular form with "Standard, Alternating Row Colors" just works fine.

Alternating row color for CF report Builder?

I have a user who wants one of her reports to display
alternating row colors for better read clarity. The reports are
rather lengthy and the rows tend to blend in with eachother.

Thanks Epulfy. I am going to give this a try later today.
Much appreciated
EDIT:: This does work. however I'm not sure how to set a
rectangle to the background of the report so it's behind my
details. I draw the rectangle and it just hides whatever I want to
display. When I look at the report it does alternate with rows, but
I can only see details from the rows that it does not alternate on.
Any clue how to set it to the background?

Change background color of alternating rows in listview

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to change the background color of alternating rows in a listview in Visual Basic 2013?
Best regards,
Randy Boulter

You can set the OwnerDraw property of the ListView to true and use the DrawItem event:
Private Sub ListView1_DrawItem(sender As Object, e As DrawListViewItemEventArgs) Handles ListView1.DrawItem
e.DrawDefault = True
If (e.ItemIndex Mod 2) = 1 Then
e.Item.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(220, 220, 220)
e.Item.UseItemStyleForSubItems = True
End If
End Sub

Multiple alternating row colours

I need to flag each row with different colours depending on the values in the columns. I believe you can do it in the definition of an alternating row report template but it only has entries for 4 conditions. How can I colour rows with more that 4 different colours at once? I have up to 8 possible conditions therefore I need up to 8 different colours displayed at once.
regards
Paul Platt

Marc:
I am not referring to the number of colors or the aesthetics. Just the difference in the visual appearance between
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:55
which uses the builtin Alternating Row Colors template
vs what you suggested.
In other words, the Alternating Row Colors template colors the row background but preserves the "grid" lines. Your solution obliterates all other styles on the row.
Dont get me wrong, your solution is brilliant, very creative.
On a related note, the technique I came up with, wrapping the entire row in a DIV and styling that in the query, doesnt work because it generates HTML like
open TD1
open DIV
close TD1
open TD2
close DIV
close TD2
This messes up the DIV since it spans the TD cells.
If it were to generate
open DIV
open TD1
close TD1
open TD2
close TD2
close DIV
then my solution would work as well.
But I dont think there is a way to generate a outer-most DIV like that using a column template, right? I cant modify the report template since my DIVs are going to contain dynamic styles from my query itself.
Thanks

DataGrid alternating row colors per column

Is there a way to set different alternating colors to each
column in a DataGrid. I have a datagrid where I want two of the
columns to have different alternating row colors, one column (red
and light red) and the other (green and light green).
Many thanks

You can simply set the DataGridColumn property to the
approprate colors.
ex.
<mx:DataGrid y="0" x="0" width="100%">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x640000"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0xFF0000"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x006600"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x33CC33"
dataField="col1"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
or you can use the setStyle:
col1.setStyle("backgroudColor", 0x640000)

Interactive report default has alternating row colors, how to remove this?

Is it possible to remove the alternating row colors from the interactive report.
In a standard report I can select the report template, but in a interactive report not.

To customize a single page, add this rule to the CSS Inline page attribute:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA tr.odd td {
background: rgb(242, 242, 242) !important;
To apply to a complete application, either add
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA tr.odd td {
background: rgb(242, 242, 242) !important;
to the Cascading Style Sheet Inline attribute on each page template, or create a CSS file containing
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA tr.odd td {
background: rgb(242, 242, 242);
upload it to your workspace, and reference it after the theme link in each page template Header:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_4/css/theme_4_0.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#theme_4_0_no_alt_row.css" type="text/css" />

Alternating row color is missing a row

Hi,
I've made a table and have checked the "alternating row color" box. It's working fine except for the top row, which should be colored in and isn't.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
thanks.

Is the top row a header row? That may prevent it from being the intended colour. If so, remove the header setting and reapply the alternating row colour.

Conditional alternating row colors

Hello
I have a report of companies an their country which is ordered by the column country. I'd like to have a alternating row color for every new country and not for every new row as it is in custom settings.
Is that possible? How can I do that?
Regards Felix
Edited by: Felix on 21.09.2011 12:33

Hi Scott
sorry, I still not quite understand how to do, because which row must be colored depends on the number of countries in the database and alphabetic order of the countries.
For example I show you only the country row of an example report and its row color as it should be right of it (because you cannot color text in this forum):
[Country Row] [Row color]
Albania light blue
Albania light blue
Albania light blue
Albania light blue
Andorra light green
Andorra light green
Andorra light green
Andorra light green
Argentina light blue
Australia light green
Australia light green
Australia light green
Once some data rows are inserted with a new country it should look like this
[Country Row] [Row color]
Albania light blue
Albania light blue
Albania light blue
Albania light blue
Algeria light green (new data)
Algeria light green (new data)
Algeria light green (new data)
Andorra light blue (color switched)
Andorra light blue (color switched)
Andorra light blue (color switched)
Andorra light blue (color switched)
Argentina light green (color switched)
Australia light blue (color switched)
Australia light blue (color switched)
Australia light blue (color switched)
Now the row color of rows beneath Algeria changed (in order to keep the alternating row color alternating)
I hope I now pointed out my problem more clearly.
Thanks
Felix

Apex 4 -- Standard, Alternating Row Colors row highlight broken

template: 14. Standard, Alternating Row Colors in apex 4.0 appears to have it mouse-over row highlight colors reversed (except for the first row, which is not highlighted)
when first displayed, the rows are displayed white/gray/white...
mousing over the first row does nothing, mousing out does nothing
mousing over the 2nd row does nothing, mouse out changes it to white
mousing over the 3rd row does nothing, mouse out changes it to gray
etc

I noticed this behavior too, very annoying. Did someone found a way to fix the template ?

How Get Alternating Row Colors To Work?

I've searched this forum, searched online, and followed the directions in the Numbers 3.0 Help, but I just can't get the Alternating Row Colors function to work. I'm using an iMac and a new Mac Mini, both running Mavericks, on a spreadsheet converted from Numbers '08. I've seen several screenshots of tables in discussions on this forum that seem to have Alternate Row shading; presumably they were done with Numbers 3.0. So apparently, it can be done. Need Help!

Now I see it! I did not have any of the Table Style boxes in the upper right cortner of the creen selected...when I choose one, the alternate row colors sudenly pop up. I'm now experimenting with the Grid Lines and Header &Footer selection buttons.
Vistan
Vistan,
I'm about as sure as I can be that Table Style boxes having being clicked has nothing to do with the Checkbox for Alternating color rows. I've been wrong before, but I can't grasp the logic on this one, and it doesn't happen here the way you describe.
