Re: Dynamically color to each column in Cross-tab report

Hello Manish,

I have attached a sample report that does this. You will need to remove the .txt extension from the attached file to open it as an .rpt file.

Please right click on one of the value fields of the first cross tab in the report > Format Field > Common > Suppress if Duplicated conditional formula.

The nested formula is as follows;

numbervar array l;
numbervar array u;
numbervar x:=CurrentColumnIndex;
if GridRowColumnValue ('@limit') = 'lower limit' then
(redim preserve l[x];
l[x]:= tonumber(CurrentFieldValue))
else if GridRowColumnValue ('@limit') = 'upper limit' then
(redim preserve u[x];
u[x]:= tonumber(CurrentFieldValue));

false

So it assigns each lower and upper limit value for each client (in the sample it is country) to an array using the cross tabs column index to index the array and it ends in False as we don't actually want it to suppress if duplicated. This nested formula is just used to generate the arrays of upper and lower values.

In the second cross tab if you again right click on one of the value fields > Format Field > Font > Color you will see the following conditional formula;

numbervar array l;

numbervar array u;

numbervar x;

if not(tonumber(CurrentFieldValue) in l[CurrentColumnIndex] to u[CurrentColumnIndex]) then

crred

else

crblack

So this compaes the current field value to range generated by the 2 arrays and assigns a color based on whether or not it is in the range.
