Layering Objects w/ Conditional Formatting

I have a report w/ conditional formatting. In one instance, object a needs to display, and in another, object b needs to display; however, they both need to be in the same place in the layout. Every time I try to simply place one on top of the other, it obviously doesn't work. How can I layer them on top of each other w/o them being put into the same frame?

Brice,
you can do this without loosing the overview about the objects, when you use anchors. On both object you need a format trigger to enable/disable formatting vice versa. Anchor the left upper corner of object b to the left upper corner of object a set the properties for horizontally and vertically collapsing of the anchor to "yes". When Object a was not formatted, the anchor will collabse and the left upper corner of object b will be exact on the position of left upper corner of object a.

  • Excel 2013 Object Model - Conditional Formatting

    1) I'd like to understand the new Excel object model more thoroughly. Can anyone suggest a book?
    2) Are the formulas and/or format settings for conditional formatted cells stored in the object model or in the workbook?  I'm guessing the workbook.
    Thanks.
    Ross

    1) The object model for Excel 2013 is the same as that for earlier versions, with a few additions and omissions.
    See http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/books for lots of books about Excel, including programming.
    2) Conditional formatting is stored in the workbook, but you can manipulate it with VBA.

  • Illustrator File Will Not Open -  Error message "Object label badly formatted"

    I have been working on a large image file for one of my classes; it has many layers and custom swatches, no text. I work on Creative Cloud at home, CS6 at school, and I think I had my .ai file saved under legacy file format CS4 trying to be safe (because I was not sure of my school's version and I have had a lot of problems accessing my files at school because of the version differences). I have been working on it back and forth between computers for quite a while, and today--while I had the image on my computer recently--it says "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties: Object label badly formatted" if I try to open it.
    I have tried: updating Adobe Illustrator; creating a new AI document and "placing" the file into it; opening the file in Acrobat (the file opened, which was a step...but it only showed a tiny portion of the artwork and left the rest blank. Under the tools, however, it still showed the image had 15 layers (under the layer menu)--and it had them marked them as "visible"--but there wasn't anything I could do to actually view them; I tried copy/pasting into illustrator from Acrobat; opening in Acrobat and "saving as" a PDF (it said "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading the document (111)"; and I just did a system restore hoping that could exorcise the demons--but no such luck so far.
    Do you have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom and support you might have...and chocolate.
    Thanks for reading this.

    We now understand the problem, and are testing a solution. Here's my current understanding of all the elements of this issue.
    CAUSE: The problem occurs in an interaction between Illustrator CS4, Suitcase Fusion 2 v13.2, and having an Illustrator document with one or more text boxes, containing text, which is *completely* off the artboard—not even the bounding box is touching the artboard. *Additionally*, there must also be at least one text box, with text in it, which is *on* the artboard (even so much as having the bounding box partly on the artboard is sufficient, again). When these conditions are met, saving the document *may* (but does not always) cause the problem.
    PROBLEM: Attempting to open an affected document in Illustrator CS4 fails, with an "object label badly formatted" error. The problem can occur with older illustrator documents opened in CS4, as well as native CS4 documents.
    UNAFFECTED: Despite any speculation in this thread, this problem does not affect Photoshop, nor has it occurred with any version of Extensis Suitcase older than Suitcase Fusion 2 v13.2, which shipped about eight days ago.
    SOLUTION: The problem should be resolved by a 13.2.1 dot release. Although things could be delayed if we find something unexpected in testing, we currently expect to have the fix available this week, probably tomorrow (Thursday).
    DOCUMENT RECOVERY: Extensis can fix any Illustrator CS4 document which exhibits this problem. For now, contact Extensis tech support if you need help with recovering any such Illustrator document. Be prepared to send tech support the affected Illustrator file(s). You can use the online contact form at http://www.extensis.com/en/support/contact_prod_support.jsp, or call tech support at 1-503-274-7030.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Conditional format in cross tab

    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    Hello All
    Crystal 2008 12.0.0.549
    I have a crosstab report in that repeats in each GF1 that displays values for several variables over an eleven month span, for instance a shortened data set might look like this:
                           FEB     MAR      APR       MAY ....
    Claims             1233     876         666         888  ....
    sold                 987       987         7 7         8 888  ...
    etc...
    I want to display conditional formatting such that if a value in the claims row is over 800, make the font RED for that column only. When I use a conditional formatting formula in the format editor font dialog, it makes the whole row red, when the values clearly do not all meet the required "800". I have experimented with making certain my value is a number and not a string, and I'm stymied. Does anyone have any input?

    use formula field. Write your condition in that formula field and in select the display string option of the column in the report.Make the display string output as the output of formula field.for eg. @formula -

    column in field. Display string option (at the bottom of the field format object --general tab) map the output of the formula field

  • Need help on Conditional Formating

    Hi All,
    I have hierearchy as Region to Series and Series to Model. I have created report with following fields Actual Sales, Objective Sales, % of Objective by Region. My requirement is i need to draw a line 100% Objective in chart and need to show the %of Objective values in Green when >=100% and in Red when < 100%.
    Am able to see the above conditional formating at the Region level properly. When am drilling from one particular region to Series level conditional formating is not applying.
    Any suggestions to achieve above formating will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Rajkumar.

    Hi Rajkumar,
    nice one. :)
    First part of the solution: you need to make it yourself a little bit easier by adding an extra column and hide this column.
    Add a column with the follow formula:
    CASE WHEN % of Objective >= 100 THEN 'Green' ELSE 'Red' END
    Second part of the solution: add a pivot table view to your report.
    Put the extra column on the Rows Section. Hide it.
    Then add the pivot table chart to the pivot table view. If wanted you can remove the pivot table.
    Then add the conditional formatting to your chart. I would use line bar combo for this.

  • 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,

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

  • Conditional Format In Pivot Table Columns

    Hi All
    I am wondering if it is possible to accomplish conditional formatting in each column of a pivot table.
    My table looks like
    Jan/12 Feb/12 Mar/12
    Bill 1.00 4.00 7.00
    Bob 4.00 1.00 3.00
    Charlie 5.00 1.00 2.00
    What I am trying to do is highlight the max(value) in each column regardless of the other columns
    So for Jan I want to format 5.00 / Feb 4.00 / Mar 7.00
    I have tried playing around with Rank but cannot seem to get it working properly.
    Does anybody know how this is possible?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi clueless,
    Just an idea...have you already tried to create an extra object max like max(measure by period, person)...so you will obtain the max value for each combination period,person.
    Afterwards you can use this object for your conditional report : when measure = max(measure) then 'red'.
    give it a try and keep us informed.

  • 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

    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.

  • Conditional Formating - LiveCycle 8

    Hello,
    I need to be able to use conditional formatting in LiveCycle. I have two columns with three rows. If I have a field poplulated with a set numberical value I want it to change the field next to it a set color.
    Example:
    1 If 0 then this cell turns red
    2 If 1 then this cell is yellow
    3 If 2 or 3 then it turns green
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Having the same issues in 2010 so it doesn't appear they have fixed the bug (or responded to this post). Seems to be a bug with copying/pasting of grouped objects. My IT department has made several attempts to reinstall software, will be trying again. It's turning what I hoped would be a productivity-enhancing program into a complete waste of time and total frustration.

  • 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_ .

  • Deleting condition formats but saving the contents

    Hello all,
    I hope someone from Adobe is monitoring this list, as there is lots of stuff that requires either more work on the ExtendScript coding or on the documentation.
    I have almost finalized my conversion from unstructured FrameMaker documents with lots of conditional texts to structured FrameMaker, in which attributes take over the role of the conditions. I now want to delete the condition formats but keep the contents. This is possible via the menu: when I delete a condition format, I get a dialog that allows me to keep the content as unconditional text instead of throwing it out. Guess what ? The Delete() method for a CondFmt object does not take any arguments, and the default method is throwing out the content.
    I can do a TextSelection on everything in the document and apply unconditional formatting to it, but that does not include the text in tables. And it is a hassle, as there should really be a way to tell the Delete() method for CondFmt what to do with the content. The options in the dialog should be available via ExtendScript somehow.
    Thanks in advance for a quick reply. My deadline is approaching quickly !
    Jang

    This problem has been driving me crazy for weeks, and I'm pleased to finally declare victory.
    The main snarl I ran into was the propVal.osval, which uses an (undocumented) array data type named Objects to hold the CondFmt objects, and it has no constructor, so it's not easy to reset. You can reset the isval all day long without effect, and building your TextPropVal from scratch has a nasty habit of crashing Frame. It's late here, so please excuse the uncommented code, but the following will make all text in your main flow unconditional, allowing you to delete your CondFmts without deleting the text.
    var findProps, foundRange, foundCond;
    var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
    var firstPgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
    var docStart = new TextLoc(firstPgf,0);
    var currCondFmt = doc.FirstCondFmtInDoc;
    var findProps = AllocatePropVals(1);
              findProps[0].propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindCondTextInCondTags;
              findProps[0].propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Strings;
              findProps[0].propVal.ssval[0]= currCondFmt.Name;
    while (currCondFmt.ObjectValid()){
              foundRange = doc.Find (docStart, findProps);
                        while (foundRange.beg.obj.ObjectValid())
                        foundCond = doc.GetTextPropVal (foundRange.beg, Constants.FP_InCond);
                        foundCond.propVal.isval = new Ints();
                        while(foundCond.propVal.osval.length>0)
                                            foundCond.propVal.osval.pop();
                        doc.SetTextPropVal (foundRange, foundCond);
                        foundRange = doc.Find (docStart, findProps);

    HI
    I am just going around with designing of rtf templates. I have a question regarding the conditional formatting feature. The question is

    Yes you can conditionally format the individual cells.
