General :: Conditional Formatting Of Report Fields
Dec 11, 2012I am struggling to format a field on a report.
I believe it is because special charachters are in the text string
I want to highlight the field if it contains the following text
Stage 6: Won and Deploy (shipping)
Regretably, I believe Access see this as code.
I suspect I need to encapsulate it some way, but nothing seems to be working
What am I missing?? How can I force Access to see it as a text string??
Reports :: Conditional Formatting On Row Of Fields
Apr 29, 2014I have a field on a report that I was able to make bold using conditional formatting. I want to make the other fields in the row bold as well if the value of the 1st field equals a set value.
EX: Contractor Bid Amount Sq Footage =[bid amount]/[sq footage] =[bid amount]/[estimate]
I put conditional formatting on the Contractor field
EX: Field Value Is equal to "Estimations"
I was Bid Amount, Sq Footage, =[bid amount]/[sq footage] and =[bid amount]/[estimate] fields to also be bold if the Contractor field is equal to Estimations.
Reports :: Conditional Formatting Two Fields In Report
Mar 26, 2015In my Access 2010 report, I am attempting to perform conditional formatting of one field based on the difference between two fields.

If it is less, I would like to format it to be green font.how I can conditionally format to do this?

Mar 20, 2014I am trying to add conditional formatting to a several fields in a report. So far i can use the contional formatting to set a field called [colour] to set that field to red and bold. But i believe I need to use an Expression for all fields, so I can make all fields that = red go red. I have used the the expression:
[colour] = "red"
but nothing happens.
Expression Is [Subtotal]+[Freight] > 50

General :: Conditional Formatting Dates
Oct 29, 2013I am trying to get my expiration date field to highlight a certain color once the date comes closer.I have weapons qualification dates. The user will input the date he/she qualified and then a expiration date (6 months from that day) automatically pops up.
Now what I want to do is once the expiration dates gets closer is change the color. So when it is 90 days from expiration it would highlight yellow, and when its 30 days away it would highlight red. I believe this can all be done through conditional formatting, but for the life of me I cant figure it out!!
General :: Conditional Formatting One Date Less Than Other
Aug 10, 2015In column D I have a date (different on each row) and in Column E I have another date (again different dates on different rows)
I need Column D conditional formatted to that
If the date in column D is less than Column E then it turns red.
I tried doing one row and it was giving erroneous formatting
Need a lot of rows done.
Modules & VBA :: Conditional Formatting With Like - Colouring Fields Within A Form
Jul 5, 2014What I am trying to do is create conditional formatting to colour fields within a form.
The conditional formatting option built in allows me to colour based on set values i.e. Value=Design turns green. I need to somehow say if Value contains the word Design turn green. This is because in addition to the word Design there will be a variable description. I tried editing the conditional format created by the wizard to Value="*Design*" but that didn't work.
Now I'm trying to write it in VBA code but am still struggling. Here's what I tried but it doesn't like it:
If InStr([Forms]![Query2]![Activity] Like "*Design")>0 Then
[Forms]![Query2]![Activity].BackColor = vbGreen
End If

Forms :: Use Conditional Formatting To Indicate Mismatch Between 2 Of Identical Fields
Nov 4, 2014I have a form with 2 sub forms which have identical fields from different records. I want to use conditional formatting to indicate a mismatch between 2 of the identical fields. I have been told I should use [NewField] <> [OldField] but I don't know how to complete the syntax. If I call the first sub_form_1 and the second sub_form_2 and the field name is path_length on both, how do I compile the statement?
View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Conditional Formatting Percentage Result
Sep 26, 2012I have a subform based on a query. In that query, I have calculated values for price+tax and another price+discount+tax. Now I have a conditional formatting that if the gross total is not equal to amount due, the amount due box will turn red. However even if they are equal visually, it still turns red. Ex. The gross total is 336.00 and the amount due is 336.00 also, so it should NOT turn red, but it does. When I click on the amount due control, the value turns into 335.999999195337. How do I tell access not to make 336.00 into 335.999999195337.

Aug 1, 2013I have a form in datasheet with the fields "Date In" and "Date out" among other.
I want to be able to Change the backcolour of the "Date In" to red, yellow, or green depending on the length of time elapsed between current date and date in. This works fine on the conditional formatting, but now I only want to apply this formatting IF the "Date Out" is empty.

Reports :: Conditional Formatting On Multiple Fields Based On Two Criteria
Sep 24, 2014I have a report which I would like to apply conditional formatting on multiple fields. I would like the conditional formatting to be based on two types of criteria
First criteria would be contracts that start with the year 2014. I used the following expression which worked - InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014" AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Joseph Steinbok" or "Adam Godson")
To this expression I would also like to highlight fields which contracts start with 2014 AND have a particular Director assigned to it. For this I used the following expression - And [DirectorInCharge]="Name"
On their own, both expressions are working but I want to combine them. How do I do this? I've tried the following - InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014" AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Name") but then nothing is highlighted. I also tried InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014") AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Name" - in this instance EVERY record was highlighted.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Formatting Time Conversion - Calculated Elapsed Time
Dec 3, 2013Formatting issue regarding elapsed time calculated using DateDiff().
I understand that you can specify the output value for DateDiff(). In my case I have chosen "n" for minutes. Each result in my query shows the correct calculation in terms of minutes.
[PunchIn] = 11/23/2013 8:11:28 AM
[PunchOut] = 11/23/2013 5:43:30 PM
[ShiftLength] =DateDiff("n", [PunchIn],[PunchOut]) = 572 minutes.
Now when I try to format the result in terms of H:MM (be it in a form or a report) I get varied results. I'll illustrate an example below:
=Format(([ShiftLength]/60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 10.32 Not correct
=Format(([ShiftLength]60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 9.32 This is correct but I need my result to be in the form of a decimal such as my next example
=([ShiftLength]/60) Returns 9.53333333. Getting there but how do I have this result only show two decimal points 9.53?
General :: Conditional Formatting - Change Backcolor Of Process If Status Field Contains Certain Text
Jan 8, 2014I have a subform with two fields [status] and [process], i am trying to get the backcolor of procces to change to red if the status field contains the text "expired".
I have tried vba. plced on the after update
if me.status = "expired" then
me.process.backcolor = vbred
else me.process backcolor = vbwhite
end if
this
Changes the color of the field [process] but also all process field colors to red even if the status field does not contain "expired".
I think conditional formatting is the way to go but i think i need an expression to complete this.
Forms :: Default Formatting Option In Conditional Formatting Dialog?

View 11 Replies View RelatedForms :: Calculated Fields - Formatting Box As Date / Time
Jan 13, 2014In my form I have a calculated field that works out the time elapsed for a job, worked out as the QTY/RUN RATE which gives me the time in hours. However I couldn't format the box as a date/time, as it is a calculation and the times may go over 24 Hours which results in the date/time giving me something like 31/12/1899 16:00 for example.
I've got around this now and I've formatted the results as HH:NN:SS using a public function in a module, but the problem is this is now stored as a text field. I've tried setting this to a number field but the formatting doesn't carry over. I've tried setting a custom format in the table as HH:NN:SS but then all I get is just a bunch of 0's, no calculation results.
So how to format this as a number field properly?
Also for any extra information:
- I know you're not supposed to store calculated results, but this is slightly different, the calculated field is a standalone text box and the bound field is a formatted text box.
- The reason I have to store the calculated results is because my boss wants to eventually see a chart of the total hours of jobs each day, hence why I'm asking if this can be done as a number field.
General :: Fields On Form - IF Then Conditional Format
Jan 14, 2014I have a field on a form OrderDate and a field DOB. I am not sure how to create an expression in conditional formatting that:
=IF([DOB] - [OrderDate] <30), Then background is red
So if the OrderDate is 1/1/2014 and the DOB is 1/15/2014 then the DOB field turns red
If the OrderDate is 1/1/2014 and the DOB is 2/29/2012 then the DOB field does not turn red.

How can I do that? What I need to type in the Conditional Formatting Windows?
Thanks a lot for you help!!!!

Conditional Formatting
Aug 13, 2007Hello
On my Database I have used Conditional Formattion to change the colour of the qty to highlight when the qty is getting low however its not as good as I would hope as there are different type of definition of quantity (D of Q) e.g. Each (single items such as a screw) and Roll (such as cord and tape)
Conditional formatting doesnt work well because if I have it as less than 10 the qty is in red, its ok for the each items however not the roll as 10 rolls of tape is more than we would need.
I am just wondering if anyone knows what the code would be to change the colour depending on the qty and the D of Q
All i have got so far is:
If me.qty <10 and DofQ = EA then
Now im stuck for the change colour part
Any help would be great

Conditional Formatting
Sep 8, 2005Does anyone know if there is a way in a report to display an entire row in a different color? I'm running a report based on a query and I need specific information to come up in RED. I read about conditional formatting but you can only apply it to a field in a report, but not to an entire row. Let's say I have a group of managers and I need to know the ones that are making more than $50,000 a year. I don't just want the salary to come in RED, I need the entire row (like name, last name, title, date of hire, salary, etc).
Any ideas?
thanks!
