Conditional Styling in Sub Totals (or Totals)

G'Day All,

A question....how do I apply conditional styling to selected columns in a subtotal (or a total for that matter)?

This might be clearer if I explain. I'm creating a sales report showing Actual Number of Sales, Budget Number of Sales, Variance to Budget (on No of Sales), Actual Value of Sales, Budget Value of Sales and Variance to Budget (on Value). The report shows each month for the year to date.

The two variance columns are conditionally styled to be red if they're behind budget, otherwise green (green for good, red for bad). To show the position for the year to date I'm applying a sub-total on a non-relevant, invisible field (totals have even less format options). The sub-total shows each of the six result columns.

The WF436 GUI in Desktop Developer allows conditional styling to be applied the subtotal but it's applied to all the subtotalled columns. Ideally I'd like to apply to conditional styling to just the two variance columns, leaving the year to date actuals and budgets in normal text.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Andrew W

Andrew , if you're willing to get out of the GUI, (i myself work in a gui-free zone)
then in the stylesheet you say

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
..
TYPE=SUBTOTAL,COLUMN=VARIANCE,STYLE=BOLD,COLOR=RED,$
TYPE=SUBTOTAL,COLUMN=MONEY,STYLE=BOLD,COLOR=GREEN,$
TYPE=GRANDTOTAL, same idea.
ENDSTYLE

Thanks for the reply.

How does this solution account for conditional styling (ie positive = bold green, negative = bold red)? It seems that the solution is just styling the columns differently without accounting for the values.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Try this:

TYPE=SUBTOTAL, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=GREEN, WHEN=[FIELD] GT 0;

TYPE =SUBTOTAL, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR= RED, WHEN=[FIELD] LT 0;

Good Luck.
