                                            | Hi,I'm fairly new to Report Builder so I hope you'll be patient with me!In Excel It's quite easy, using conditional formatting, to apply a color scale fill for a column of values where the smallest value for example is colored in red graduating up to green for the highest value, with varying shades of red, orange, yellow and green in between depending on the value.   My question therefore please is, can a similar method be applied to a data column in Report Builder?Thanks very much in advance for your help. |  |

                                          | Not that fancy but you still can use some functions to set this.=IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, "White", "Lightblue") is for alternative background color setting but the key is IIF() function. Go to the cell and find Fill, open Expression button and type=IIF(your calculation on numbers formula, "red", IIF(formula, "green", "blue")) ...you can embed more IIF() ... |
