Hi guys,

I have a requirements to change the fill color of my report title
in my dataset "OpenRAW" i have a field name RESULT.
Under Result fieldname, it contains data "OK" and "CHECK-100"
I have to evaluate if there is a word or it contains "CHECK-100" or "CHECK" in the RESULT field.
then i will change the default fill color of my report header into Red color. thank you in advance..

-------------
OPEN PO   --- report title > need to change the fill color if the RESULT field contains "CHECK-100" or "CHECK"
------------
My Date

Purchid--itemid---Date--RESULT > column header

SO does OpenRAW only have single record always? if there are mutiples how will you determine which one to be considered based on which you've manipulate report title color? or is it that value of RESULT field will be same across?

Hi Visakh,

Here is the content of my OPENRAW dataset. it came from the value of RESULT fields.
its possible to scan the RESULT field? once it detect a "CHECK" the fill color will change.


"OPENRAW" DATASET

Purchid--itemid---Date--RESULT > column header
11111---HTC1235--3-11-13--OK
22222---HTC1233--3-12-13--CHECK
33333---HTC1235--3-13-13--OK
44444---HTC1321--3-14-13--OK
66635---HTC1354--3-15-13--CHECK

My Report Title would be "OPEN PO". Its either i will change the font color or change the back ground (fill color) into red color. If the result field has contains "CHECK". present background color is Light blue. thanks.

i make some modification and here is the result.

I'd make another dataset that contains only field RESULT.

then i made an script filtering only those with "CHECK"

after doing this i used this dataset to my table header and it's working.

=IIF(First(Fields!RESULT.Value, "CheckDS)="CHeck",Red","#003366")

nope..this wont work always. In case you have a value CHECK in dataset but its not first value it will still show the color as #003366.

I think based on your earlier sample data what you need is this

=IIF(SUM(IIF(Fields!RESULT.Value="CHeck",1,0), "CheckDS)>0,Red","#003366")

i got an error using your recomendation.

1.Right clik Text properties of report title
2. click text box properties ---> Fill--Fill Color Expression-->Set expression for background color

=IIF(SUM(IIF(Fields!RESULT.Value="CHeck",1,0), "CheckDS)>0,Red","#003366")

The BackgroundColor expression for the text box ‘Textbox10’ uses an aggregate expression with an invalid recursive/simple flag. The valid values for this flag are ‘Recursive’ and ‘Simple’.

the below is wrking fine for me.

=IIF(SUM(IIF(Fields!RESULT.Value LIKE "CHeck*",1,0), "DataSetName")>0,"Red","Green")

I'm using this expression fro Backgroundcolor property available from properties window by selecting textbox and clicking show properties icon on top.
