Hierarchies and conditional formatting

Hi all
I have a specific requirement that, based on a values of one column (let's assume 'day'), the fact data based on another column (let's assume, fact is the sales, and dim hierarcy is time), shall be displayed or not.
Being more clear, an example: if the day is monday for a specific row, starting from year in the report, clicking to drill to the day (minimum level), the fact (sales) shall not be displayed (or displayed as null), however, if the day is something else for the row, the fact should be displayed. This behaviour is required only at the minimum level of hierarchy, all other levels should sum up all records and show the fact (month and year levels).
I am not sure whether I can express myself clearly, I need help to solve this.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
you may use guided navigation to drill to a custom request.
In the request which has the time level prior to day in time hierarchy, click on 'add navigation' button and select the request which has the day level.
Build a request with day and sales columns. Edit the formula for sales measure and put for example: case when day = 'monday' then null else sales end.

  • 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?

  • IDisk and conditional formatting

    I've been using conditional formatting to add color to cells for specific events. It's great and allows me to assess data at a glance. Recently, I decided it would be nice to have this data available to me on my iPhone, through iDisk. However, when I copy the file over, open it up on the iPhone, no conditional formatting is apparent.
    Is this just a no-go?
    I realize I can do 1 of two things to fix it: 1) apply the color manually (not a valid choice, really) or 2) save it as a PDF, which retains the color.
    Why I would like to keep it in Numbers is because I really like the tabs for different pages at the top on the iPhone screen. Loading the file as a PDF it seems rather laggy, since it loads all the pages on the same screen.
    Thanks in advance.

  • EVDRE and Conditional Formating

    Hello guys,
    Here is a strange one. We have built an EVDRE for 5 products over 12 months which expands to Column BS
    We find that if we exand it for 2 months the conditional formatting expands correctly but for 12 months the conditional formatting just not expand and just stays in the primary expansion cell. The conditional formatting is blank elsewhere.
    Any ideas?? Help much appreciated.
    We are on Version 7.0 SP4 for MS and using SQL 2008.
    Edited by: GFS on May 4, 2010 3:44 PM

    I don't know any issue regarding EVDRE + conditional formating for Excel 2007.
    Any way I suggets to open a ticket into support because they will do a search for similar problems.
    Usually these kind of issue are related to Excel not really to BPC.
    The Excel 2007 is treating the events into other order than Excel 2003.
    If you are using Custom Macro into your report I suggest to review these Macros.

  • Crystal Presentation Design 20011 and conditional formatting

    Does anyone know if conditional formatting is supportted. I have a some cells with conditional formatting..ie.. some of the cells turns colorblue when certain criteria is met..I'm using a listview to show the range of cells but it's not coloring the cells blue when showing the view. Do I need to use anothe component? or is there a workaround? I've tried grid and spreadsheet table as well with no luck..any ideas?

    I do not think it is supported. Xcelsius does not support Macros, if you are using VBA.

  • 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.

  • Can we preserve Conditional Formatting in excel even after export ?

    Hi,
    I have requirement where I need to preserve the formulae and conditional formatting when exported in excel format.
    The user is supposed to be changing the values and so the final result values and cell formats should change as well.
    I tried the workaround to preserve the formulae as directed in other threads but would like to know if we also have a workaround to preserve the conditional formatting of the cells.
    I know OfficeWriter can help me to get this requirement done but still I wonder if we have any workaround for this requirement.
    Thanks.

    Hi Rikz,
    According to your description, you want to preserve the formula and conditional formatting when export report to excel format.
    According to my knowledge, In earlier versions of Reporting Services, there was limited support for translating expressions in RDL to Microsoft Excel formulas. Since SSRS 2008, when you export a report to Excel, RDL expressions are not translated to Excel
    formulas, which is documented at
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143380(v=SQL.100).aspx by Microsoft. When we export a report to excel, only the final data is exported. If some user want to preserve specify cells’ conditional formatting, we can use IIF function as a workaround
    as below:
    IIf(Globals!RenderFormat.Name Like "EXCEL*", Excel Formula, RDL Formula)
    For more information about export formulas to Excel, please refer to the following feedback:
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/488517/ssrs-2008-export-formulas-to-excel
    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

  • The infamous Conditional Formatting and page numbers

    I've been digging through these posts and I see that conditional formatting and page numbers is a common topic, but none of the posts I've seen seem to come up with an answer to my suituation:
    (Apologies in advance, I know this has been covered in many previous posts, just don't seem to be able to decipher a clear answer...)
    I have a client who wants a boilerplate item - the word "OVER", to signify a miltiple page report - to be printer on the botton right of the page, BUT as usual there are seeveral conditions when they want it NOT to show.
    First, they wnat it to only print when a specific Source is selected. That's a database field, and I have that conditional formatting piece working,
    Second, they only want it to print on ODD numbered pages, I think I can use something like MOD(SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(x),2)=0 to determine whether or not it's an odd numbered page, but havn't been able to try it yet,
    Third, if the report is only a single page they don't want it to print at all. Not sure how to accomplish this, since the holy grail of the conditional formatting seems to be the total number of pages, and none of the posts I've seen have been able to get this.
    Any ideas?

    The "Select All" button selects all cells that have the format you are looking at. It makes it so you can easily modify them all at once.

  • Conditional format with large data fails and show error as "Selection is too large" in Excel 2007

    I am facing a issue in paste special operation using conditional formats for large data in Excel 2007
    I have uploaded a file at below given location. 
    http://sdrv.ms/1fYC9qE
    The file contains two sheets, Sheet "Data" contains the data on which formats are to be applied and sheet "FormatTables" contains the format tables which contains conditional formating.
    There are two table in "FormatTables" sheet. Both have some conditional formats applied on it. 
    Case 1: 
    1. Select the table range of Table1 i.e $A$2:$AV$2
    2. Copy it
    3. Goto Sheet "Data" 
    4. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
    5. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special.
    Result:
    It throws error as "Selection is too large"
    Case 2:
    1. Select the table range of Table2 i.e $A$5:$AV$5
    2. Copy it
    3. Goto Sheet "Data" 
    4. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
    5. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special.
    Result:
    Formats get applied successfully.
    Both are the same format tables with same no of column and applied to same data range($A$1:$AV$20664) where one of the case works and another fails.
    The only diffrence is Table1 has appliesTo range($A$2:$T$2) as partial of total table range($A$2:$AV$2) whereas the Table2 has appliesTo range($A$5:$AV$5) same as of its total table range($A$5:$AV$5)
    NOTE : This issue is only in Excel 2007

    Excel 2007 No Supporting formating to take a formatting form another if source table has more then 16000 rows and if you want to do that in more then it then you have ot inset 1 more row in your format table to have 3 rows
    like: A1:AV3
    then try to copy that formating and apply
    Solution Case 1: 
    1.Select the table range of Table1 i.e AV21 and drage it down to one row down
    2. Select the table range of Table1 i.e $A$2:$AV$3
    3. Copy it
    4. Goto Sheet "Data"

  • Conditional formatting and extensibility in Power View for SharePoint 2013 on-premises

    Good day,
    Is there a way we could apply conditional formatting in table objects, specifically at cell level (green, yellow and red) to a Power View dashboard in SharePoint 2013?
    If not, is there a way to extend Power View to support these requirements. I know that SSRS and PowerPivot provide a wide range of customization tools, unfortunately so far the only customization capabilities that I've found in Power View are themes , fonts
    and backgrounds but nothing that could allow this level of formatting. What are the available options, only SSRS and PowerPivot?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Marcelo Estrada MCP-MCTS-MCITP-MCSA-MCSE

    Hi Marcelo,
    As you know, generally themes , fonts and backgrounds are supportted in power view, more details information:Format Power View reports

  • Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

    Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
    I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

    Hi Tom,
    Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
    Please explain what you are trying to do.

    Ian.

  • After Exchange 2010 SP3 and rollup 4 update conditional formatting causes messages not to appear in Outlook 2010

    Hi,
    after updating to exchange 2010 sp 3 from sp 2 and also updating to rollup 4, users who use conditional formatting cannot see new message unless they close and reopen Outlook.
    If you decide to change the font colour for unread messages, the messages do not appear in Outlook but a pop up indicates that a new message has arrived.
    If you reopen Outlook, the unread messasge appears.
    remove the conditional formatting and no issue with viewing unread messages as they arrive.
    running Outook version 14.0.7106.5003
    is this a known issue?  a user who never used conditional formatting will experience this right away.
    Thanks,
    rudif

    Hi rudif,
    If the issue only happens to users who use conditional formatting and OWA can work well for all mailbox, I think the issue should be in client side.
    Please try to reset View then set the conditional formatting back to have a try. If the issue continues, please try to recreate the Outlook profile to check whether the issue persists. Also try restarting Outlook in Safe mode by running
    Outlook /safe switch.
    Thanks,

  • Conditional formatting: greatest and lowest values in a column?

    I have a column of data, with about 30 rows of values. Is it possible to setup conditional formatting so that Numbers highlights the top three highest values and the lowest three values in the column?
    thanks!

    How's this:
    1. Create the second table for the large and small formulas. I did one column, you should be able to copy it to the rest of them.
    2. Create the conditional format for the first data cell in the first row of your data table (go to the cell inspector and choose "show rules" to get to the conditional formatting pane).
    3. Select the cell, Copy Style, select all the other data cells in the row and Paste Style to copy that conditional format to the other columns. At this point, the conditional format in the other columns will be incorrect (they will all refer to the large/small values for the first column), you'll have to modify each manually so they refer to the correct cells in the "large/small" table.
    4. Copy Style and Paste Style each of those conditional formats to the rest of the cells in each column.
    One caveat: You may get more than three smallest/largest values highlighted under certain conditions. For instance if you have four 1's and "1" is your smallest value, all four would get highlighted. If you have two 1's and two 2's, and they are your smallest values all four would get highlighted. If you have 1,2,3,3 and they are your smallest values you would also get four highlighted. Similar case for the largest values. It doesn't appearthat this would be a problem for your data.

  • Apply conditional format to hierarchy groups

    Hi experts!
    (Using obiee 11.1.1.5.0)
    I have a report that it has 3 columns
    Hierarchical Column // Actual // Diference
    Hierarchical column has different calc groups and when I have created this group with Format Option I fill format that I want.
    Now I want to apply same format in Actual and Difference column.
    I can't do that with conditional format in answers Actual Column because I can't see this group.
    How can I achieve this??
    Thanks!!

    My group of hierarchy is a new step in selection steps on table (add new group calc). When I create this new group I can put format (only in this group) but I don't know how to reference Actual column to this group.
    Any help?
