Conditional Formatting Expression - Evaluate First 3 Characters Of String As Numbers
Mar 2, 2012I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL
3.0 :0
11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example:
Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif(
isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value)
,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))
,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99
,"DarkRed"
,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.

Apr 2, 2008hey there I have a series of finacial reports. the girls that work on them want color and the boss wants them to print in black and white. the color back grounds print grayscale so I would like to add a link of some sort that changed the background to transparent when they want to print a report.

Jan 25, 2007I want to write an expression that will evaluate 2 fields. So, in simple terms, I want the following:
if field1 > 0 and field2 = "yes", apply formatting, otherwise leave formatting as is.
I am familiar with using iif statements, but since I want to evaluate 2 fields instead of one, I'm not sure how to proceed.
It seems I may need to use another statement, such as the Switch statement...I just don't know how.
Thanks for any help!

Nov 23, 2007hu guys,
I am trying to change the colour of the background of each row in a table depending on the month it is.
I have tried putting the expression
=IIF(Datepart("month",Fields!AppDate.Value) = Datepart("month",Now) ,"Green","Red")
in the backgroundcolor forthe table row, but it doesn' work.
do you have any suggestions ? or can see why this isn't working?
kind regards

Conditional Formatting
Oct 11, 2007
Hi,
I have a report as such:
dataset:
select s.supplier, i.item, p.price, i.[type],i.origin,i.unit
from pricelist p,item i,suppliers s
where p.item = i.pkey and p.supplier = s.pkey
and a matrix that has
row groups; item,type,origin,unit
column groups : supplier
and price as detail.
this has been achieved
example:
freshegg bestdeal freshmarket
Eggs small lo ea 1 2 2
now i want minimum price to be highlighted.
the minimum price on that row to be for example red.
I am currently trying in color properties set it like this:
=IIf(Fields!price.Value = Min(Fields!price.Value, "matrix1_unit"),"DarkRed","Black")
where matrix1_unit is the last row group,
but this is not working right,
Anyone has some directions?
thanks.
Conditional Formatting - Not So Conditional??
Dec 15, 2006I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value.
=SWITCH(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3, "Red", Fields!Wrap.Value < 3, "Green")
I already tried =iif(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3 , "Red", "Green") and got the same results.
Is it because this is a matrix report? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance . . .
SSRS Conditional Formatting
Aug 27, 2015I have an SSRS report that I want to use conditional formatting on. When the value of the cell = 0, I want the background yellow, and the font red. For the background, I have:
=IIF(Fields!reads.Value = 0, "Yellow","White")
For the font color, I have
=IIF(Fields!reads.Value = 0,"Red", "Black")
The issue is that the background one is working properly, while the font one is not. If the value = 0, the font is invisible. The value is present in the report (I can export to excel and see it just fine). If I change both the background and font to the defaults, the value is STILL invisible.
Conditional Column Formatting
Jul 19, 2007Hi Everyone,
I am trying to hide a column in a matrix table. I have no trouble using conditional formatting to control the visibility of the column, but when I hide the column the main row in the matrix does not shrink. Therefore, I have a big gap€¦ My thought was to use conditional formatting to control the column width of the main matrix row. Listed below is the expression that I used. Can anyone help me with the error message or recommend a better solution?
=IIF(Fields!FiscalYear.Value = IIF(Month(TODAY()) = 10-12,Year(TODAY()) ,Year(Today())-1), 0.625in, 0.25in) cannot be parsed as a unit because it does not contain numeric values. Examples of valid unit strings are "1pt" and ".5in".
Regards,
A.Akin
Conditional Formatting Question
May 15, 2007I have a column that contains either a test score or the state abbreviation where the student passed a particular test. I want the text to be red between 100-159, green greater than or equal to 160 and black otherwise.
This is what I've tried to take care of the scores:
=IIf(Fields!Score.Value <= 159 and Fields!Score.Value > 100,"Red", "Green")
Two issues:
I want all other scores (< 100) to be Black and
I'm not sure how to deal with the state abbreviations. I'm assuming this is why I receive this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜Score€™ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
Preview complete -- 0 errors, 1 warnings
All data is stored as varchar.
Conditional Formatting Mystery
Oct 4, 2007I am trying to format a background color based on the field's value. But the expression always returns the false result.
Here is the expression I am using
=iif(Me.Value="RSB","Red","Blue")
I have also tried
=iif(ReportItems("Type").Value="RSB","Red","Blue")
Both fill the background color blue when the textbox clearly contains RSB. I'm not sure why it cannot find the value. The field data type is Char(4). The textbox values are all uppercase.
This all started when I was trying to use a report parameter for conditional formatting and I realized that it wasn't working. I broke down the expression by directly trying a value.
Any thoughts?
Conditional Formatting On Drill Down
Jun 5, 2007I have a report that when the user drills down I need to change the formatting to include borders and/or colours. I tried adding the following statement to top border of the element without luck. Since I don't know when the detail is the last line of the drop down, I am uncertain how to try adding it there.
I do not want the underline to show when there is no expanded drill down.
=iif((Previous(Level) > 0, "Dotted", "None")
g1 name1 total1
g1 name2 total2
d po#3a total3a
d po#3b total3b <<-- want to add underline between total3b and total3
g1 name3 total3
Thank you
Conditional Formatting Based On Second Dataset
Jun 15, 2007I am trying to create a report which has conditional formatting.
The primary dataset is a view of objects with several values
eg
object1,0,4,0,1
object2,0,3,1,1
The secondary dataset is the comparison table and just contains the values
eg
0,3,1,1
I'd like to conditionally format the values based on the comparison table but when I create an expression comparing to the second dateset
eg
=iif(Fields!object1.Value <> Fields!comp_object1.Value , "Red", "SkyBlue")
i get
Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
Not sure if there is a way to tell the expression to look for comp_object1 in dataset2, even tho it is uniquely named?
Ideas gratefully received !

I can get the row colors to work great with an expression, but when I try to add the gray column with conditional formatting for the Resident's Overall Satisfaction Rating question, it clobbers my row formatting. I am thinking that I will have to do some gnarly expression in each of the rows and columns using the InScope function. Does that sound about right, or is there an easier way?
Thanks, Mike
Conditional Formatting Question RS 2005
Aug 3, 2007
Hi,
Does anyone know how to implement conditional formatting with three criteria (e.g. If a value is <83 then BGcolour Green, between 83 and 90 the BGcolour is Yellow, greater than 90 the BGcolour is green).
I have tried approaching it in two ways. One was with a case statement as follows:
CASE
WHEN TargetPer < 83 THEN 'Red'
WHEN TargetPer >= 83 AND TargetPer < 90 THEN 'Yellow'
WHEN TargetPer >= 90 THEN 'Green'
END AS BGColor
TargetPer being the value i wish to examine. I returned this in the query dataset i am using to populate the report. I then used the following expression to set the backgroundcolor property:
=Fields!BGColor.Value
Unfortunately I get no yellow fields for the appropriate values (even though the BGcolor value says yellow!!!)
The other approach i have used is the following expression to set the background colour
=IIf(Fields!TargetPer.Value>90,"Green",IIf(Fields!BGColor.Value>=83 and Fields!BGColor.Value <=90, "Yellow","Red"))
For this i still have no yellows just reds and greens!
I am using a matrix report that has subgroups on the columns for table!
Any ideas anyone????
Thanks

Should Be Easy - Help Formatting A Conditional Query.
Aug 28, 2006SQL Server 2000. Here's what I have so far. The section of the query I need help with is highlighted in blue.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetByVersion
(
@targetVersion varchar(30),
@product varchar(50)
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT * FROM MyTable
WHERE (product = @product)
AND
CASE
WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='')
ELSE (targetVersion LIKE @targetVersion + '%')
END
GO
I get a syntax error in the Stored Procedure editor on an equal sign in this line:
WHEN @targetVersion='' THEN (targetVersion='')
What I want is this (in psuedocode):
if @targerVersion is blank
search for records where the targetVersion column = blank
else
search for records where the targetVersion column starts with @targetVersion
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might modify my query to do what I want? Any help is very much welcome - Thanks in advance! :-)

any idea's are appreciated.
Conditional Formatting For Report Builder (SQL 2005)
Mar 25, 2008
There is no conditional color formatting for Report Builder.
Is there any way to have it - write plug-in for example.
I tried to "hack" rdl file the RB produces:
but it didn't work.
Also, I hear that Microsof is about to issue a fix for it (SSRS 2005). Is it true?
Thank you
Conditional Formatting On Text Color In Group Footer

Hello,
I am having a problem trying to do some conditional formatting on the text color.
This textbox is in the Group Footer so i essentially want change the color to red if the SUM of one field in the group is less than the SUM of another field in the same group.
I am doing this:
=Iif(Sum(Fields!YTDChargeHours)< Sum(Fields!YTDForecast), "Red", "Black")
but i am getting this error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Color expression for the textbox €˜YTDChargeHours€™ contains an error: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
Thanks in advance!

Using Cell Value For Formatting Expression
Mar 25, 2008I have created a report that uses a fairly complex IIF statement to sum the data. That part works just fine. Now I need to format the font color so negative values show in red. Is there a way to reference the individual cell (by its textbox name maybe?) in the Expression Editor?
For example, if tb_Orders was the name of the textbox that sums the data, I'd like to write something like:
=switch(tb_Orders < 0, "Red")
I could just copy the IIF statement but I'd rather keep things simple. This way, if I need to change the formulas, I don't have to change all of the conditional formatting as well.
Is this possible?

String Formatting Expression Problem
May 27, 2008I have what should be a simple string formatting issue -- removing all alpha characters from a phone number. T-SQL below is simple and works just fine:
declare @home_phone as char(14);
set @home_phone = '(123)979-3206';
set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,'-','');
set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,'(','');
set @home_phone = REPLACE(@home_phone,')','');
The condensed version below works equally well:
set @home_phone = REPLACE((REPLACE((REPLACE(@home_phone,'(','')),')','')),'-','');
Either script above returns correct result:
select @home_phone;
Result = '1239793206'
HOWEVER, within SSIS Derived Column expressions, this function fails to remove parentheses. First of all, Expression Builder doesn't like outer single quotes (turns red) which I resolved by using double quotes resulting in the following expression:
REPLACE(home_phone,"-","") + REPLACE(home_phone,"'('","") + REPLACE(home_phone,"')'","")
Unfortunately, this expression fails to remove parentheses and instead returns: '(123)9793206'
I've tried several different permutations--no inner single quotes; adding more inner single quotes; etc., but so far no success. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Conditional Expression - I.e., IIF In Access
Feb 9, 2004I have a query with a conditional expression that I can do just fine in Access but I am having a bear of a time trying to create a similar SQL View. Baiscally I want to say, if column A is null, use value B else use value C.
In Access the SQL is this:
SELECT IIf([Categorycode] Is Null,[tblconstituents].[CASNumber],[categorycode]) AS Casnumber, Sum(qryweldingrod3a.CFume) AS CFume, Sum(qryweldingrod3a.cslag) AS cSlag
FROM qryweldingrod3a INNER JOIN tblconstituents ON qryweldingrod3a.CASNumber = tblconstituents.CASNumber
GROUP BY IIf([Categorycode] Is Null,[tblconstituents].[CASNumber],[categorycode]);
But I know you can't use the IIF statement in SQL so I was trying CASE and was still coming up empty handed. Here is what I produced in SQL but it didn't work:
SELECT SUM(dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS.CFume) AS CFume, SUM(dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS.CSlag) AS cSlag,
CASNumber = CASE Type
WHEN categoryCode IS NULL THEN dbo.tblConstituents.CASNumber ELSE CategoryCode
END,
FROM dbo.tblConstituents INNER JOIN
dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS ON dbo.tblConstituents.CASNumber = dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS.CASNumber
GROUP BY dbo.RecycleWR_qryWeldingRod3a_LBS.CASNumber
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Expression In Conditional Split
Jan 24, 2008In the conditional split transformation,

but it keeps giving me a syntax error.. what am i doing wrong here?

Conditional Expression Quirk?
Aug 8, 2007When using the conditional expression in a derived column transformation, I found that the following expression:
[F1Depth]==3 ? [F2Name] + "--" + [F1Name] : [F1Name]
is invalid while
[F1Depth]==3 ? [F2Name] + "--" + [F1Name] : "" + [F1Name]
is valid.
In both cases, the output type is set to Unicode String (DT_WSTR) with 4000 characters. The error in the first case is:
Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column (2784)]: Failed to set property "Expression"on "output column" "FactorName" (2918).
Would this be considered a bug, or is there a reasonable explanation?
Thanks,
Anna.

Using Regular Expression In Conditional Split?
Jun 29, 2007I have as csv-file wich I import into an SQL Server table. Now I want to do some checks on it. I use a conditional split to direct data to the other tables (1 table for the correct data, 1 table for the rejected data).
Is it possible to use a regular expression in a case in a conditional split to check if a columns has the right format?
If yes? How do I do that?
If no? What is the alternative?
Thanks!
