Setting Backgroud and fore color through Formula

Question

Post Author: Srinivas378
CA Forum: Formula
I am using cross tab in crystal report.For the summarized field ,I have to set Fore color,and Backgroung color differenly.
Those colors I am getting from Database.While setting the colors all the cells of summarized field  are showing the very first color code.
This is my function: in Basic syntax.
WhilePrintingRecordsdim HexColor as stringHexColor ={vwUserTrainingReport.BGColor}Formula=RGB(HexaToDec(Mid (HexColor,2 ,2)) , HexaToDec(Mid (HexColor,4 ,2)) , HexaToDec(Mid (HexColor,6 ,2)))
I have written an Hexa to decimal convertion:
Function HexaToDec (Input AS String)
Dim a AS NumberDim b AS Number
    Select Case Mid (Input,1 ,1)        Case "A"          a = 10        Case "B"          a = 11        Case "C"          a = 12        Case "D"          a = 13        Case "E"          a = 14        Case "F"          a = 15        Case Else          a = 0    End Select
    Select Case Mid (Input,2 ,1)        Case "A"          b = 10        Case "B"          b = 11        Case "C"          b = 12        Case "D"          b = 13        Case "E"          b = 14        Case "F"          b = 15        Case Else          b = 0    End Select
   HexaToDec = (a * 16) + b
End Function
Give me a solution as quickly as possible.

Sorry - had to figure out how to put images into this forum (still trying to see how they get displayed...)
Here is what I am doing:
Multiplying this (cell by cell)

by this:

to get this:

So, for each row vector and column vector I get one result in a cell in the third table.
(In this case, the answer is: 30,000,0000.09470*0.1099+00.3557... = 2,841,265; if you take the next row vector (one line down) and multiply it by the same column vector, you would get the 4,047,087 result in the last table, and so on..)
My problem was that when I used the title "Series E" instead of "E Series" in the Column Vector table and I tried to set it to "absolute row" - it would not work. When I changed it to "E Series" it did. Why? While I use "Series E" as a title elsewhere, I would assume that Numbers has an internal reference that includes the table name as part of the identifier so that there is no conflict.
Anyway - I seem to have solved it, but not in a way that makes sense to me and I sure would like to know what, if anything, I am doing wrong.
Thanks!
