I am wanting certain lines in an Active Report (AHTML) to be a certain color. However, when I try to apply a condition, I don't get all of my columns to obey the conditional styling. In the example below, I would like all column for ALPHA ROMEO to be yellow, but my first two columns remain green. Any ideas on how to get around this?

 -* File activestyling.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     'CAR.BODY.SEATS'
     'CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST'
     'CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST'
     'CAR.BODY.SALES'
BY 'CAR.COMP.CAR'
BY 'CAR.CARREC.MODEL'

ON CAR.COMP.CAR SUBTOTAL AS '*TOTAL'

I believe it's having a conflict between the included style sheet and your conditional styling. If you remove the INCLUDE EURSTEEL,$ line, all of the columns receive your conditional style. try making the stylesheet inline instead of INCLUDE to (a)see what it adds and (b)see if it works or if it can be modified to work with your additional conditions.

Thanks Darin,
Your suggestion worked on my sample report but not on my actual report. The main difference I have is that the rows that does NOT adhere to the conditional styling is when I have no data for the specific column. For example, I have a description column. If I want that whole row to be yellow, all the columns are yellow EXCEPT the description box where I have no description data in that field. How can I get around this and make it yellow even if I have no data for that specific field? Thanks.

Is the value for that particular field and row missing (null) or is it blank? If the value is null, you could get around it by redefining the field (which basically converts missing values to blank) in a DEFINE.

FIELD1/A20=FIELD1;

This assumes that you don't need to use that missing value for anything such as a calculation, average, etc.

I can understand why that particular column would not be styled, (you've styled DATA= but there is NO data for that column/row) but it DOES seem not quite right that if you're wanting to style an entire row, it is not able to style a column with missing data. I would open a case on that one and see what tech support says.

Thank you Darin.
