Conditional formatting in report designer.

Hi All !
What is conditional formatting & how to do it ?
does it act like condition which we do in BEX query designer ?
Can we restrict values using this at the report designer level ?
Regards
Tom.

Hi,
Conditional Formatting: You use this function to set a design that deviates from the design for selected characteristic values, hierarchy nodes, and so on, that is set by the default row patterns.
Conditional formatting can only be applied to characteristic values in dynamic sections of a data provider. A query (or query view) with one or more characteristics in the drilldown forms the basis of a data provider with a dynamic section.
Take a look at the URL below:

Graphic/Image not displayed with conditional formatting in Report Designer

We are facing problems with displaying an image in a conditional formatting in the Report Designer. The image itself is in the mime repository and can be displayed in the report if no conditional formatting is used. But if it is used the image doesn't appear in the report.
Backend setup: SP 8
Frontend setup: Patch 8, hotfix 2, Revision 95
Any help is highly appreciated.
Sven

Hi,
I could not reproduce your problem in internal SP8 system. Also images in rows with conditional formatting are displayed.
Do you get any errors after the execution in the portal?
Try to use exactly the same image in both rows (drag-and-drop with CTRL key pressed).
If then your problem still occurs, open a customer message. Describe your problem in detail and write technical name of the report you used.

How do I apply conditional formatting using SharePoint Designer 2013?

I'm attempting to apply Conditional Formatting to a list view web part via SharePoint Designer 2013, and I can't seem to find the option to do so.
I've a horrible feeling I'm just being daft, but here's what I've done so far:
- Created a new page (I've tried both web part and wiki)
- Added a list "App part" and saved the page
- Checked-out and opened the page via Designer
- Clicked the "Edit file" option
- Selected the XsltListViewWebPart tag
So far I can't find any options to add it. If I open the Conditional Formatting pane via the View menu it tells me the following:
> To use conditional formatting, select an HTML tag, data value, or
> range of text, and then click Create to specify formatting options.
I've tried selecting the web part tags in all manner of combinations with no luck. In previous version I would have simply selected the previewed data rows in the now-absent Preview pane.
Am I missing something?

Create and edit a Wiki Page
Click Inset > Data View and Select “Empty Data View”
Click Inside the <DataSources> tags </DataSources>
Click Insert > Data Source “Your Data Source Name”
Hold down Ctrl button and select the Rows in the order you want them to appear from your “Data Source Details” Window.
After the Rows are selected click on the drop down “Insert Selected Fields as…” at the top of the “Data Source Details” Window.
Select “Multiple Item View” option (This will create the xsl where we need to add the conditional formatting to)
Find the <tr> tag that contains the Row Data. Insert the following right below the <tr> tag:
<xsl:attribute name="style">
<xsl:if test="@FieldName = 'Something'">background-color: #FF0000;</xsl:if>
</xsl:attribute>
I hope this helps. I figured this out by using the old 2010 Designer to figure out the where to place the code and how to do this.

Conditional formating in report painter (GRR2)

Hi all,
An end user ask me if it's possible to do a conditional formatting in a cell of report painter (run with GRR3) if the value is true (i.e. as in excel, you can colour a cell if it's less than zero and so on). I know that it's possible with the BEx (for SAP BI), xcelsius, crystal reports and surely with bussiness object. I can see that it's only available do the format for the all column or for a line, but I don't find the option for a cell with a condition (surely because it isn't available).
Please, confirm me if it is not available, because I'm a long time looking for a reply but I only find info about BEx, xcelsius and so on (nothing related with report painter, GRR2 and so on). But if it's possible, please let me know how to do it.
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Eduardo

Hi,
I don't think that we can put the conditional formula. but we can do the calcualtion by row wise or column wise.
Thanks.

Section format event - Report Designer Component for Crsyatll 11

Hi,
I have been trying to find some sample code for Visual C++ using MFC to try and hook into the format event when a section of the rpt gets rendered. I have looked through all the samples and have not really been able to find anything conclusive.
I basically just need adjust the width and height of the OLE object. If anyone could point me in the right direction or provide some sample code that would be most helpful. Just something how to use an event sink for example?
Thanks in advance, Dene.
PS this might not be in the right forum, there is a bewildering number to choose from for a new comer.

Hello Dene,
please find some [RDC C++ samples for event handling|ftp://ftp.businessobjects.com/pub/incoming/CPP_code_samples_events_thread_999932.zip].

Conditional Formatting for Report Rows based on page item

Hi,
I have a report and a page item on a page. I would like to somehow highlight any report rows where a particular column in the report (e.g. "Customer_ID") matches the page item (e.g. P2_CUSTOMER_ID).
Any idea how to do this?
Thanks,
Forrest

You can also achieve this by jquery ( Please note - I just started learning jquery , so my way of doing it may not be a good way of doing it)
1. Download jquery from [http://www.jquery.com]
2. In Page Header enter
<script type="text/javascript" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#jquery.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function(){
      //t20data is the class for table cells in theme 20 .. change it as per you theme - right click view source and find it
         x = $('.t20data').length;
     //i=7 is the column index of customer id
    // i = i + 10 , 10 is the number of column
       for( i = 7 ; i < x ; i=i + 10)
            if($('.t20data').eq( i ).html() == $x('P2_CUSTOMER_ID').value)
                // i-7 is the first cell of row and i+2 is the last cell of row
                for( c = i - 7 ; c <= i + 2 ; c++)
                     $('.t20data').eq( c ).css("background","red");

Conditional Formatting with multiple characteristics in report designer

Hi,
I'm trying to build a report with images in conditional formatting for two characteristics (=columns). Each of which can have one of the following three status values:
1 - green
2 - yellow
3 - red
For each status value i want to show a different image (traffic light). It works fine with only one characteristic. The conditional formatting creates three details rows in the row pattern (one for each status value) and depending on the status value the corresponding details row with the traffic light is shown.
But if there is more than one characteristic with conditional formatting in the report it only works with a different row for each characteristic value, as the two characteristics belong to different group levels of the row pattern. That means I finally have 2 rows showing the two status values.
To show them all in one row, which is the goal, I have put all the conditional formatting definitions (6=3 for each characteristic) into the detail rows of the row pattern.
But then for one characteristic incorrect images are shown, e.g. although the status value is red, a green traffic light is displayed, because the status value of the other characteristic is green.
Obviously the conditional formatting only works with the characteristic, for which the details rows in the row pattern have been created.
Any ideas how I can manage to show all the conditional images in one row?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sven

Sven,
your scenario is not supported yet.
Right now, a conditional format is based on one condition.
In the future it is planned to allow more conditions to be applied to the rowpattern, using "AND, OR" operators.
The availability of the feature will be announced via the BI Functional Enhancement List (see BIFAQ)

Report generation toolkit conditional format - how to?

Hi
We are using the Report generation toolkit (2010 version), and have a question regarding this tool.
I see functions for setting the number format, but not a conditional format. Does this not exist?
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372120A-01/lvoffice/excel_set_cell_format/
This page refers to an example which from the name sets a conditional format. However as I understand it, this example is setting a custom number, not a conditional format.

Hi,
the simplest way to do this I guess you can provide a template for your Excel sheet, where you can set the conditional format there.
From LabVIEW you can just send the values into this sheet-template.
Maybe you can try these if you want

Issue with conditional formatting in XML publisher report

Hi All,
I am working on a XML report where in I am required to use conditional formatting to highlight changes, if there is change in any of the column value. The condition is required to be implemented on a text column as well as a number column. I have tried to use the conditional formatting available in the BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.2, wherein I have compared the two columns, and when they are not equal to, then formatting should change to red color; but the same is not working in the excel output.
Can anybody help here?

Does Conditional Formatting does not work in HTML report editor - BO 4.1

Hi
I have just upgraded to BO 4.1 from BOXI 3.1
I see conditional formatting option is grayed out for me in BO 4.1
I dont have java installed and running launchad on HTML (Preference ->WEBI-> Modify Report -> HTML )
Is there any relation between Applet option and Conditional formatting or is there anything wrong with Access which i need to correcr explicitly as compared to BO 3.1 ?

Hi Saurav,
This is expected behavior; We can modify the Conditional formatting only though Applet mode or using Webi Rich Client.

Hello,
Solution for that is to install the newest availlable Support Package for GUI. I assume that you have GUI version 7.10 and BI SP probably < 3. Please install SP 3 for BI and this issue should be solved.

Apply conditional formatting when a report is exported to CSV format

Hello
OBIEE dasboard has the option to export the report data to CSV format.
But the problem is that on some columns of the report, it uses various different types of conditional formatting that tells, what to display when data is equal to one of those edge cases. So hence the report on the dashboard page shows accordingly which is fine.
But when the report is exported to CSV format, no conditional formatting is applied and all the raw data is shown without any formatting.
Is there any way to make sure that the conditional formatting is applied even in the data exported to CSV format.
thanks

CSV is supposed to be a data dump .. i dont think you can have formatting saved when u download csv file.. try downloading it to excel and changing it to CSV

XL Reporter & Conditional Formatting

I am building my Income Statement / P&L in XL Reporter, and I want to draw attention to any items out of the ordinary. I have each period in two columns, the 1st column being the actual amount and the 2nd being the % of revenues. I want to do conditional formatting on only the second column, so if it is off the average % of revenues, I'll notice it. The problem is that when multiple periods are expanded, Excel applies the conditional formatting to both columns. How do I eliminate that and only apply to one of the two expanding columns?

I'm using Excel 2007 and here is my basic table layout:
C column - $ figures
D column - % of revenue
(these two columns are repeated for the selected number of periods)
E (or whatever column it ends up being) - sum of $ figures
F (or whatever column it ends up being) - average of % of revenue
F1 - The percentage difference from the average that I want highlighted
The conditional formatting that I have set up is applied to column D (and should be applied to the new F, H, etc):
= D4<($F4*(1-$F$1))
Another problem I have run into with this is that it keeps the $F column as $F, regardless of how many periods are included. I can't leave it without an absolute reference because then each period refers to a different column for the average. The easiest solution I've thought of is putting my sums on the left, but I'd rather not do that.
