Conditional formatting via calculation

I have at the end of a row a checkbox.
If the checkbox is checked I would like it to highlight the row.
My thinking was along these lines:
IF (CHECKBOX = "CHECKED", BGCOLOR = "BLUE", 0)
(I know that this isn't correct Pages syntax, but I believe it explains what I would like it to do)
Is this possible in Pages?
Thanks for any input.

I repeat, searching for conditional formatting gives the response to those who read carefully.
+Use the Cells Inspector to format cell values. For example, you can display a currency symbol in cells containing monetary values.+
+You can also set up conditional formatting. For example, you can make _a cell_ red when _its value_ exceeds a particular number.+
If the feature was able to apply to a row it would state: _you can make a row_
It's why the "Conditional" item is in Inspector > Cells, not in Inspector > Table
I never saw a program stating "I apologize, I'm unable to do this or that".
For those knowing the way to read Help or user manual, the basis is that when a feature is not described, we may guess that it is unavailable.
and nowhere does it say that you can use a CHECKBOX as condition!
A rule doesn't check the kind of object used in a cell, it checks the stored value. When we use a checkbox, the stored value is TRUE or FALSE exactly as if we typed TRUE or FALSE as a text entry.
Same thing with popup menu (the value may be a string or a number)
and steppers or sliders (the value is a number).
(And YES, I did select the ENTIRE row when I created the rule)
One more time, a rule checks the contents of _a single cell_ ! This means that if a cell match the rule it apply the format to _this cell_ , if it doesn't match the rule, it doesn't apply the format to _this cell_ . It's exactly what is written.
I would like the ENTIRE ROW to fill with that color.
I'm not sure that it is a sufficient reason to have it behaving this way
_You may go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09
I assumes that you will not get satisfaction.
When we select a range of cells with several columns, this means apply the rule to every cell one by one, not apply to the entire row the format if a given cell of this row matches the rule.
How may it guess which cell of the row is the one to test ?
The only solution would be to select cells in one column and have a box in the pane allowing use to choose:
_apply the format to the cell_
or
_apply the format to the row_ .

Conditional formating for calculated fields

Hi,
What i need to do is apply a diferent format for some itens on the reports.
I have some fields that are calculated in the script logic, so in the excel report it is shown as any other field where you can type the value, but that value gets overiten once the script logic takes place.
So what i need to do is add a new collum at the dimention for example "CALCULATED" and when it's set to Y the field would be shown in the form with a diferent formula.
And further on, add automtic comment to that cell, showing how that field is calculated.
Thanks in advance
Leandro Brasil

Hey all,
the CALC property in BPC refers only to hierarchie nodes. If you wanna highlight calculated nodes, this will be the solution for you. But, if you wanna highlight values in your report, which are calculated by a script logic and which are not necessarily hierarchie nodes, you'll have to add another property different from CALC in your dimension and flag the calculated values.
If you're done, you can refer to this property in your format range.
Example:
Dimension - Property - Value: ACCOUNT - SCRIPTCALC - 1
Formatrange - Criteria: ACCOUNT.SCRIPTCALC = 1
Have a nice day!

Calculation in a Conditional Formatting

Do you know if it is possible to create a conditional format based on the result of a calculation?
I would like to use a calculation in the field "Value". The instructions to fill this field say: "Type a numeric value or select a value from the drop-down list". But my drop-down list is empty. Any idea?
Thanks

It is not possible. The value cannot be based off of another field. The only workaround that I can come up with would be to display the calculation in an adjacent column to the one you want to format, and set the format such that the background and foreground are the same color.
A few months ago, I thought this would be an easy way to highlight and entire row, but ran into this "problem".

Conditional Formating in New Calculated Item??

Hi there,
In pivot table I've created a new calculated item in column that is % calculation of measure value A and B.
I need to apply conditional formatting on new calculated value only. I also want to add % sign on the calculated value.
Previously I modified the data format of measure values to percentage and manage to bring % sign in calculated item. Now I need to show both measure and calculated item in report with measure without % sign and calculated item with % sign
Thanks

No, I don’t think you can do that in New Calculated Item in Pivot Table.
What you can try is pulling another column in your report and try using this formula (case when stmt) in column fx and insert it in pivot table.

Error while processing conditional formatting formula in crosstab

This conditional formatting formula must return one of the following Color Constants: ' A number, currency amount, boolean, date, time, date-time, or string is expected here. Details: errorKind
The above error is displayed on the the Business Objects Report Server when running my report.
The XI server version information is as follows:
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2
Business Objects
11.5.0.3135
20060628
Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Business Objects
11.5.0.31327
20060628
My IDE is Crystal Reports 2008.
The error is being generated for the following conditional formatting formula which is in my crosstab:
evaluateafter ({@concatAppTypeAppMethod});
if CurrentRowIndex = 1 then
    color(0,153,153)
else if CurrentRowIndex = 2 then
    color(168,146,101)
else if CurrentRowIndex = 3 then
    color(0,51,153)
else if CurrentRowIndex = 4 then
    color(204,51,51)
else
    color(153,153,153)
This formula is applied via the Crosstab "Format Field>Font" tab. In the report developer (Crystal 2008) the report runs without error. When deployed to the server it fails with the above error.
Heres the details of {@concatAppTypeAppMethod}:
whileprintingrecords;
"Designs filed " + {Command.APPLICATION_METHOD}
The crosstab is structured as:
Row = {@concatAppTypeAppMethod}
Column = {@getMonth}
Summary = Count of {@concatAppTypeAppMethod}
Details for {@getMonth}:
right(totext(year({Command.ACN_COMPLETED_DATE}),"#"),2) + totext(month({Command.ACN_COMPLETED_DATE}),"0#")
The above functions Row i.e. {@concatAppTypeAppMethod} and {@getMonth} use fields from the SQL command.
{@getMonth} parses the ACN_COMPLETED_DATE field, obtains the record month and year and concatenates these as a string which can be displayed as follows in the crosstab:
May-08, Jun-08 etc.
{@concatAppTypeAppMethod} parses the APPLICATION_METHOD field and obtains the application filing method i.e. Online or Internally and concatenates the pretext "Designs filed " to the filing method (also a string).
I have tried various combinations of whilereadingrecords, whileprintingrecords and evaluateafter() with no success. The problem occurs because the conditional formatting formula is being executed before the records being formatted are ready.
I believe this is a problem with the crystal reports software and/or XI server.
Please prove me wrong.

Hi Raghavendra,
Thanks for your prompt answer! Can you confirm? Is it because I'm using calculated members in the report and these are not support by the XI server specified in my error report above?
If so, do you have any suggestions with regard to how I might be able to create a graph with the following attributes:
Show summary (count) of records per month per application method (i.e. online or internal. this is a database field retruned by the SQL command). In addition I need to add a series to the graph that shows the totals number of records per month irrespective of the relative application method (i.e. sum of online and internal) and finally I need to show the total number of online applications (i.e. application method = online) as a percentage of the total number of applications for the month.

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.

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

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)

In need of assistance using checkbox and conditional formats

Hello,
I'm trying to set up a command to meet the following:
When I opt to use a checkbox format in say cell "G2" - I would like to setup a conditional format along the lines of...
=IF G2 is TRUE (i.e. checked), then change the color of cell "A2" to some color.
Can anyone help me with the line command for this?

L.
Seems like it should be easy, doesn't it? There are options to doing this, but none are exactly obvious. The problem for you is that conditional formatting is based on the content of the cell being formatted, not some other cell. A typical use is to, say, bold content over a certain limit, or make the display of a zero value invisible.
In Numbers08, you have only a couple of options:
Use an IF-test to alter your content, or use an overlay table or tables. The solution you pick will depend on whether the content was calculated or input directly. If the content was input from the keyboard, that's the most difficult situation since there is no equation to modify.
So, do you want to change the color of the Text, or the Fill, of cell A2? And, how important is this formatting to you? If it involves extra columns or tables and a lot of fussing around, do you still think you need it?

Can I use conditional formatting in OWA?

Can I use conditional forwarding for emails in OWA. I would like to set up rules in OWA that will allow certain messages to change their display upon receipt.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that we can't do it via OWA. You need to setup the conditional formatting on Outlook. Here is the steps for your reference.
On the View tab, in the Current View group, click View Settings, and then click Conditional Formatting. Click Add to create a conditional formatting rule.
For more information, here is a blog for your reference.

Using conditional formating on member columns in essbase hirarchy in obiee

Hi All,
I ws analysing an existing sample PnL report in obiee 11g.
Wht I found that there is conditional formating used on 'Balance' member column based on one of the member column (net income) from 'income statement' hirarchy of essbase cube. I tried to open the 'Conditional Format' tab and tried to look into the conditional formating based on the columns above. Wht I noticed that , in the filter, some values are uses such as equal to is in 300000 and so on.. I thought of editing the value to specify another value, but could not edit the value as it is non editable.
Can anyone tell me how to specify such value.? I tried to furhter investigate and found that is is actually comming from net income member, but I am not able to edit it modify it.. I wanted to used this formatting feature in my another report which I created from scratch, but not able to understand how to do it..
Any help, please?
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

Hi Dhar,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I have added couple of screenshot to flickr to clarify my problem: http://www.flickr.com/photos/93812026@N07/
Picture 1:
Yes, your assumption is correct. We are using gen x level members in report, but these members are shared members or Dynamic calculations i.e. we have created custom account hierarchy for them.
Picture 2:
Basic situation, when I query that hierarchy. I.e. it returns account names for both members in the hierarchy. Furthermore, so far I have used only one pair of account, i.e. WOC
Picture 3:
I'm able to "merge" these two account members simply by adding "case when" statement to account dimension object. It shows values correctly in a table (picture 4)
Picture 5:
BUT, when adding other accounts to query filter, the returned values are no longer correct, but some sort of multiplication.
--> it seems, that OBIEE cannot figure the context it should do the calculation against and I don't know how to define it there.
Ps. Next step was, that we tried to use dashboard prompt to return correct values to calculations, but after being able calculate correctly values for these above mentioned accounts, we ran into problem, when trying to add entity level to dashboard prompt (OBIEE gave an error refering Essbase). I believe this is a bug in this version.

Copying formatting from conditional formatting without the rules

I tend to use a lot of conditional formatting in my spreadsheets. Unfortunately, this leads to two problems:
1) I need more rules than are allowed (this seems to be related to the height of my screen... probably because the dialog box doesn't have a scrollbar)
2) This really, really slows things down, especially when combined with cell references, and particularly when I'm trying to rearrange cells (as far as I can see Numbers has a tendency to freeze and/or blank out the table I'm working on)
The easiest way I can see out of my predicament would be to somehow remove the conditional formatting rules while keeping the actual formatting... like copy-and-pasting values instead of the actual cells (with intact formulae). Is this possible? And if possible, how would I go about doing it?
Thanks in advance!

Up to 15 rules can be set for conditional formating of a cell.
1)
Considering that the usual purpose of conditional formatting is to flag 'unusual' values, and to make the 'condition' instantly visible and recognizable, that seems an over generous number. If a cell or group of cells on your table 'needs' more than 15 possible formats (the base format and 15 others based on rules), perhaps what's needed is a re-thinking of why that many are needed, and whether having that many formats adequately answers that 'why'.
If you really do need that many, you can set then, even if your display height is filled with fewer than that. Additional rules may be inserted after any existing rule, not just the last one. note, though, that the conditions are evaluated in the order the rules are listed, from top to bottom, and the format is set by the first rule encountered whose condition is met.
2)
Not surprising. Numbers recalculates the entire table each time a value in the table is changed. That calculation includes through each list of conditional formatting rules until a match is found (or the end of the list is reached), and includes setting the new format for each affected cell.
3)
Not that I'm aware of. The base format of the cell may be copied (option-command-C) and pasted elsewhere (option-command-V), and that pair of operations will include any conditional format rules that had been set for the original cell.
But conditional formatting is just that—a set of rules that applies a set of attributes to a cell when a specific condition is met. The applied format exists only when the condition is met, and can't be copied except by copying the rule—actually the whole set of rules for that cell—which puts you no further ahead.
3a) You could, of course, change the base format of the cell to match the colour and style applied by the conditional rule, then clear the conditional format rules for that cell or set of cells. That would 'remove the rules while keeping the (applied) formatting', and would leave the formulas intact. seems to me a game not worth the candle, though.

Mandatory condition Taxes via TTE (0TTE) is missing

Hi Experts,
when I create an invoice for service confirmation I get an error
However whe I check the pricing procedure, there is 0TTE condition (statistical and mandatory) with formula 11000. I've tried also foruma 11004 but error still exist. Pricing configuration is using Function Groups.
Can You help me with this ?

Hi PePe,
Thanks for the response. Yes in the pricing procedure condition 0TTE is mandatory. We use this pricing procedure in some other transactions where tax is calculated.
When we add an item (let say item 160) the defaulted item category does not result in any error , but when we change it to a different item category which is not price relevant this error pops up for item 110. Moreover this error disappears with some dummy change or with an Update price on Conditions tab.
We in fact tried to trace the TTE for different instances and it fails with an error "TTE processing terminated" which eventually results with error "Pricing error: Mandatory condition Taxes via TTE (0TTE) is missing" on the order.
Any suggestions what all needs to be checked and how this error can be diffused?
