Fill cell color in report - the entire cell?

Hi all,
Apologies to ask for something that has already been touched on.
https://forums.oracle.com/message/843430#843430
This solution was great to read. It colors the text background in a cell, in a report, depending on the data within. This is almost, but not quite coloring the entire cell.
I have been trying for a while but at this point can I put it to the brains trust? (ie you)
In old school language, what I'm after is
<TABLE border=1 bgcolor=#FFFFFF>
<TR>
<TD>my first table</TD>
<TD bgcolor=#00FF00>my first table</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
...which colors one entire cell, rather than just the white behind the text.
FYI, I would then go to make this conditional depending on the data in the cell - Effectively becoming the Excel stype Conditional formatting.
Thanks.

SSRS Reporting : Fill Cell Color according to the Location of the Cell in the Matrix

Hello,
I am trying to achieve below result in the SSRS but facing issues with Cell color Fill Expression when Detail value is NULL.
If you look at the image, it should show exact same colors of the cell irrespective of the values.
But in my case it is not showing color for NULL value cells.
Below is the expression which I have put in the Fill Expression window.
SWITCH(
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col1" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row1","Yellow",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col1" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row2","Green",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col1" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row3","Green",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col1" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row4","Green",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col2" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row1","Red",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col2" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row2","Yellow",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col2" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row3","Yellow",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col2" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row4","Green",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col3" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row1","Red",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col3" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row2","Red",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col3" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row3","Yellow",
Fields!Columns.Value = "Col3" And Fields!Rows.Value = "Row4","Green"
Please suggest me to get the colors for the NULL value cells.
I tried with IsNothing() but then it is doing the same color of all NULL cells. I want them exactly same in the figure.
Thank you,
Mittal.

Hi Mittal,
Based on your dataset table, the matrix should displays as below. Are you manually insert Row1 row and Col3 column in the matrix?
If that is true, the Fill cell color should be displayed as the picture above. Because there are no values for Rows=Row1 and Columns= Col1, Rows=Row1 and Columns= Col2… the expression for those cells has no effect. To achieve your requirement, we can manually
insert those values in the dataset query like below:
SELECT Columns, Rows, Value FROM table
UNION all
select 'Col1' AS Columns, 'Row1' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col1' AS Columns, 'Row3' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col2' AS Columns, 'Row1' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col2' AS Columns, 'Row4' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col3' AS Columns, 'Row1' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col3' AS Columns, 'Row2' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col3' AS Columns, 'Row3' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
UNION all
select 'Col3' AS Columns, 'Row4' AS Rows, NULL AS Value
Then directly add those three field with the fill cell color expression to matrix, the matrix displays:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

How can the result of a formula copying the content of a cell to another cell be unlinked from the source cell?

Numbers on iMac under Maverick.
For each sheet in a spreadsheet (Numbers file) I have provided a corresponding sheet (to replace it). In the new sheet I want to insert a formula referencing the corresponding cell in the original sheet. I want to be able to delete the original sheet without losing the result in the new sheet. The link has to be broken.
If the formula referencing the cells in the original sheet returns the resultant data in place of the formula, this will enable me to use this method to work through a largish file (and others like it) with comparative ease. In Excel this would be done, for example, by using Paste Value only (an option in Paste Special). In Numbers, I think it can be done for an entire row by using Insert>Copied Rows (and likewise for a whole column), by choosing Values as opposed to formulas (because that action generates new rows and columns and doesn't overwrite existing data).
Is it something to do with generating a more complex formula, or pasting a style using the Format menu? Or the Edit>Paste and Match Style?
It's eluding me.

Thank you, Ian. That sub-menu is what eluded me all right. It certainly seems to me to be one way I can do this: using the Paste Formula Results sub-menu under Edit. But before I copy the cells as you say, I will have to take several prior steps.
In the new sheet I have to select the top left cell of the subject range and there enter "=". Then, in the original sheet, I must select the corresponding cell. Returning immediately to the new sheet, I need to drag the cell right to extend the formula to two adjoining two cells. Now I need to drag those three cells to extend the formula to the bottom of my table (quite a number of rows, but the number matches that of the original sheet). Only at this point am I in a position to apply your suggested method: that is, copy what's already selected and use Shift-Command-V to paste the formula's result throughout the range.
I feel sure that will do it. But if anyone has any further suggestion as to how this could be done less cumbersomely, I would be very happy to hear it before I embark on the task ahead - because that will have to be repeated for another 24 new sheets in a couple of files. Quite a lot of work.
So, whilst you've helped me materially, a question still remains as to whether some other method might be possible?

Peter White

Mulitple Cell selection with unselect the same Cell

Dear Friends,
I am having a JTable with a Multiple Cell Selection .Consider Now iam
selecting the cell (0,3) (0,5) (1,7).When selecting the cell it is in Red color.
I made this multi selection by using the setCellRenderer method overriding.It works fine.
Now I am clicking the Same above cell with right click button in the mouse ..it must unselect ....means It may change the color too.
Any body know about this....Can u please help me ...This is very urgent for me........
Kindly
malar

Thanks friend,
I have finished that..Now its working fine....
I used the same cell renderer with deleting the existing index which was selected....And I called the repaint() again....Now it unselected.
Thanks for ur simple and cute Idea....Thanks a lot

HSL Panel cannot control individual colors in the photos. Using the target tool and the colors change in the entire photo.?

HSL Panel. When using the targeted tool I cannot control individual colors in the photo. In Luminance the entire photo is changing not just one area?

Yes, that's the way it works. The target tool is simply a way to pick a colour to modify, but all colours like that one, no matter where they are in the image, will be modified.

Matching table cell colors?

Using 5.2 (1860) I have a table and I can not match the colors of some of my cells. Is there an easy way to select the formatting of a cell and just copy it to another cell? When I select the color options for the cells I want to change, the light grey option is not there. See the attached image. I want to simply copy the lighter grey cell color so it spans the entire 2nd and 4th rows.
Thanks in advance!

Once you have a cell color set, you can make adjacent cells the same color by clicking in the cell with the color, and then roll your mouse pointer over the edge of the cell in the direction you want to propagate the cell color. When you see a yellow dot appear on the cell boundary, click and drag in the direction of the cells whose color are to match the original cell color.
For non-adjacent cells, click in the cell with the color you want to replicate. In the Format > Cell panel, click Fill, and choose Color Fill. Click on the color globe, and use the hand lens icon to capture the original color into the color chooser. This is now the fill color. Click on the non-adjacent cell you want to color, and reselect Color Fill from the Cell panel. The cell will fill with the specified color. Repeat paragraph one as needed.
If you want to fill an entire row with the same color, click on the row number (or range of cells using the shift key) so that the entire row is selected. Then choose Cell > Color Fill and the row will be set to the specified color.

Cell formulas stop reporting correct values. Numbers 3.5.

10.10
Numbers 3.5
In the same table:
I have a cell (say #1) with a number value entered say 10.40.
I have another cell (say cell #2) that is set to equal that cell's value.
This works and cell 2 reports the correct value of cell 1.
But once every 10 or so restarts cell 2 stops reporting cell 1's value correctly.
It reports the previous value after I change Cell 1's value.
Sometimes deleting cell 2's reference and re-entering it works.
Other times it just continues to report cell 1's previous value.
Getting cell 2 to report the current value of cell 1 can be a chore.
Other cells on the same sheet with more complicated formulas also stop reporting the correct values.
Many references are for cells in other tables on the same sheet.
I can spend 30-45 minutes correcting the mess every 10 or so restarts.
Anyone else have this issue?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks ... Ken

Nothing like that here. Have you tried deleting Numbers 3.5 (go to LaunchPad, hold down the mouse button until the icons quiver, and click the x by the Numbers icon) and re-downloading from the Mac App Store? Also have you tried shutting down and restarting your Mac?

Empty cell until value entered in different cell

I am trying to create a formula that will leave a certain cell empty until the first cell is populated. The problem is that the cell that first needs to be populated will not have the same value in it.
Basically, I am creating a daily chart where I will have to populate numbers in column A, which will then populate all the other columns. Until the cells in column A are populated I want all the other cells empty. The cells in column A will be populated
with different numbers every day, which is my problem.
Additionally, if the cell is then populated, the other cells will have to do calculations. It should be something like "Once the cell in column A is populated with a number, column B will have to calculate A1-C1. Until that point column B will have
to stay empty.
I'd be grateful for any help.

Enter the following formula in B1:
=IF(A1="","",A1-C1)
This formula can be filled down.

Can I change the fill color of an entire row based on what's selected in a pop-up menu in the first cell?

I have a pop-up menu in the first cell of every row with three choices (and I may add more at a later date). I want the fill color of the row to change depending on which thing is selected. Is this hard to do?

Hi,
In essence the same as Wayne's answer, but with a slight modification to fit to duplicate your 'color the whole row' specification. The final result, with Table 2 slid behind Table 1, is shown.
Table 2 is a single column table with the same number of rows as Table 1. The table is resized to match the full width of Table 1.
In A2, use the formula =Table 1::A2 to copy the value from that cell in Table 2. Fill the formula down through the rest of the column.
Select all the cells in Table 2 (except the header row), and apply conditional formatting rules such as those below.
Note that the Conditional Format rules are set to apply the same colour to text and fill in the cell, so that the text disappears.
When Table 2 is ready, select it, then go Arrange > Send to Back.
Before sliding Table 2 behind Table 1, Select Table 1 and use the Table Inspector to set the Cell Background to None (see red arrow in illustration). If This table has a Header column, you need to select the header cells independently and again set the Cell Background to None.
Now select Table 2 and drag it to a position partially under Table 1. When you see the blue alignment guides on both sides, or at the top and bottom, of Table 1, release the mouse button and use the arrow keys to nudge Table 2 into its final position.

How to remove the orange default color of the first cell in an ALV report

Hello all,
I have coded an ALV grid report (in ABAP object) and when I execute it, I saw that the first cell containing data, in the top left corner of the ALV grid is always colored in orange by default. This bothers me because I have colored this cell in green (if I select an other line in my grid, I can clearly see that my top left cell is colored in green).
Does anyone knows how to "desactivate" this orange default color ?
Thanks for your answer.
Best regards
Cyril S.

Thanks Uwe and Rainer,
Unfortunately, I tried what you mentioned both and nothing works.
As you said, it seems mandatory that a cell must be selected by default in an ALV grid.
That's a pity because this "ugly orange" hides my beautiful green color.
I will answer my customer that it is not possible. That's all.
Thank you for your help. I did appreciate.
Best regards
Cyril S.

Numbers: how do I turn on the feature that fills the cell with typing that was previously used? The previous version had this feature. I could type the first letters of a name in a cell and the entire name would automatically appear.

Numbers: how do I turn on the feature that fills the cell with typing. In the previous versions, I could type a name or word and then a list of names/words with the same letters would appear. I could choose the name/word to enter into the cell. This saved many strokes. If I was typing a word with only one like it previously entered, that word would appear, grayed, and I could simply tab to the next cell, automatically entering that word in that cell. Is this feature in this version of Numbers? The autofill tab 1)I can't turn it on and 2) it doesn't seem to do the same thing.
Thanks.

The developers failed to propagate that feature from version 2 to version 3. I believe it is on the short list of things to be restored in May 2014 or so.

ALV color priority: The layout color or the cell color?

I'm trying to assign an ALV at the cell level but it is not showing up. I have specificed the column color at the layout level. Does the layout level have color priority?

Hi
see the doc and do accordingly
1. add one more field to ur final internal table say COLOR(4)
2. in layout wa_layout-style_fname = 'COLOR'. " if its grid
wa_layout-style_fieldname = 'COLOR'. "if its list
3. read table itab index 3.
itab-color = 'C410'.
modify itab index 3
4. see program SHOWCOLO for all color codes
1. Add a field of data type CHAR(3) to the internal output table.
2. Enter the color code in the appropriate field of the row to be colored in the internal
output table:
Code: 'Cxy'
C = Color (all codes begin with 'C')
x = color number ('1' - '9')
y = highlight ('0' = off, '1' = on)
3. Assign the internal output table color code field name to the IS_LAYOUT importing
structure IS_LAYOUT-INFO_FIELDNAME field and pass this structure in the ALV call
interface.
To enable row coloring, you should add an additional field to your list data table. It should be of character type and length at least 4. This field will contain the color code for the row. So, lets modify declaration of our list data table gt_list.
you should fill the color code to this field. Its format will be the same as explained before at section C.6.3. But how will ALV Grid know that you have loaded the color data for the row to this field. So, you make it know this by passing the name of the field containing color codes to the field INFO_FNAME of the layout structure.
e.g.
ps_layout-info_fname = <field_name_containing_color_codes>. e.g. ROWCOLOR
You can fill that field anytime during execution. But, of course, due to the flow logic of screens, it will be reflected to your list display as soon as an ALV refresh occurs.
You can color an entire row as described in the next section. However, this method is less time consuming.
Coloring Individual Cells
This is the last point about coloring procedures for the ALV Grid. The procedure is similar to coloring an entire row. However, since an individual cell can be addressed with two parameters we will need something more. What is meant by more is a table type structure to be included into the structure of the list data table. It seems strange, because including it will make our list data structure deep. But anyhow ALV Grid control handles this.
The structure that should be included must be of type LVC_T_SCOL. If you want to color the entire row, this inner table should contain only one row with field fname is set to space, some color value at field col, 0 or 1 at fields int (intensified) and inv (inverse).
If you want to color individual cells, then for each cell column, append a line to this inner table which also contains the column name at field fname. It is obvious that you can color an entire column by filling this inner table with a row for that column for each row in the list data table.

How do i use conditional formatting to edit the color of other selected other cells?

I have been playing around with the conditional formatting feature of Numbers, I have figured out how to change font and background color of the cell i am working with.
However what i am looking to do is apply a background color formatting to another cell (i.e. F2) if conditions are met in (B2).
the end game is this,
I want to make a column of check boxes, and using contional formating i want adject cells to change color (I.e. the example above: if (B2) is a check box, then when unchecked the reffered Cell (F2) does nothing, but when check the color of (F2) changes)
I can make this happen with Logic equations, the give (i.e. F2) some letter or number value, then using conditional formats i can have the color change. but this leaves that particular cell useless to me (i.e. F2) I am not free to enter or edit text in that cell. (i.e. =IF(B2=TRUE,"Paid","Due") ----> then add a conditional statement that chages color when the value is either "Paid" or "Due")
How do i have F2 change color, when B2 is checked and still retain the ability to enter information (or potential have another formula) in F2? (The Cell is not used up by "Paid" or "Due" it is editable just like any other cell)
is there anyway to change cell characteristics like font, color, and background color inside a formula, because in that way i would be able build it manually
i tried using the formula editor inside the conditional format pane, but the only infor it will allow me to retain is one partictular cell. i cannot add modifiers like "+" or "=" or anything else. what is that space used for then?
thanks for anyones help

MC,
You can do what you want in Numbers. It requires an auxiliary column and it's a bit tedious to set up because conditional formatting by comparison to another cell isn't relative, so each cell has to be programmed individually with no option to Paste or Fill to other cells in a range.
For explanation purposes, let's say your checkbox is A2, your cell to be conditionally formatted is B2, and your auxiliary cell is C2. To have the format of B2 determined by the checkbox status in A2, you will:
1. In C2 write: =IF(A, B, " ") The " " is any string or value that you don't expect to encounter in B normally, and using the space character means you don't have to worry about having it visible if C is in View.
2. In B2 use Conditional Format: "Equal To" cell C2 and set your text and fill attributes to be used when the box in A is checked.
That's it. Do that for every cell in the range.
