Selective BOLD text in table

Question

Hi guys,
I have report on Service Request Active reporting subject area. Standard table view with one additional column with custom text displayed using CASE...WHEN logic. This works perfectly fine.
What I need is to display the values being pulled to be displayed in BOLD (not the whole field just selective text). for this under column properties in Data Format tab i selected HTML and tried using <bold>text/column formula</bold> or <b'>text/column formula</b"'> or ['b]text[b'] (added a couple of ' here in the post to remove the forum's formatting) but nothing seems to work out. Can someone point out where to place the bold tags and the format so that i can get this working
*sample logic statement*
CASE
WHEN "- Service Request Custom Attributes".PICK_16 = 'Tier 3 Integration'
THEN 'Issue 1 = ' || "- Service Request Custom Attributes".PICK_16 || ',<br> ' || 'Issue Owner = '|| IFNULL ("- Service Request Custom Attributes".PICK_20, 'NO OWNER ASSIGNED')
WHEN "- Service Request Custom Attributes".PICK_17 =
ELSE 'NULL'
END
thanks
Gaurav

Answer 1

How would I use conditional formatting?
Let's say I've given the field a custom heading of Issue - Owner (combination of values from 2 separate fields based on certain CASE logic). I go to the Properties>Conditional Format tab> I click on Add Condition and it shows the list of columns. I select Issue - Owner. It throws up the combined values as possible answers which would be incorrect.
The 2 columns used to combine this are not used in the report, so i cannot use that to filter and if i do add those columns then also i do not get the correct filter settings.
I have a complete sentece displayed in that column - part of it is static text that i have entered and part of it is the column formula which displays various picklist values based on the logic.
I need some words of the static text and some of the formula highlighted.
for e.g. this is displayed in the column
The Issue 1 is Integration and Issue Owner is John Doe
Issue 1 is static text while John Doe is value returned based on CASE logic
I need 2 separate types of data displaed in bold
