I have a report like this:

col1 col2 col3
A 1 2
A 4 5
B 9 8
B 8 8

I need to create a style for each of the values that are in the first column.

For example, In this case, I need to color all rows that has 'A' in the first column should have Color A
and all the rows that has 'B' should have Color B so on and so forth.

Did anybody try this before ?
Appreciate your help.

Appreciate your quick response. Tony.

In this case, Nothing is fixed. The values in col1 and number of rows are dynamic.
I can't hard code the value in the WHEN condition.

So far, the idea I can come up with is to find the no.of rows for a particular value in a table file block and then match it to the original hold file and then use that counter(whenever it is > 1) to style it.

I am wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this.

yeah there is...try working with this on the car file...you should get a color change each time the country changes and the color change should be teal first, then yellow for the next country group, and gold for the 3rd.
you can use 2 colors, or more...;
pick softer colors, of course...

TYPE=DATA, BACKCOLOR=(BY=COUNTRY TEAL YELLOW GOLD),$

Susannah,

Need a little more help with this.

Is there anyway I can specify my own colors using the RGB combinations in the above statement ?

Thanks.

That's why you're the virtuoso!

hahahahaha Big Grin
amrav, sure, just specify
(BY=COUNTRY RGB(230 255 230) RGB( 255 255 255))
if you want to simulate the old greenbar paper from mainframe printers. It'll alternate rows on your output

Can you tell me if this function is available in 5.3.3

I tried adding this and it did not change the formatting of my spreadsheet.

Thanks

Doesn't style in 5.3.2 but does in 7.1.3 when output is EXL2K.
