I have several stored procedure reports that have the same format for its percent rank columns. There can be up to 8 columns per report times 17 reports that have the same format. Can this macro be stored as some sort of function to be called when needed to format a specific column.
I assume you are talking about Style Sheet definitions which can be conditional on a criterion and therefore the mention of MACROS, right?
What kind of styling are you talking about there? different font, style, borders, etc.?
When it comes to Style Sheets, the notion of a "function" is not really applicable (or at least not that I know). What you can have is you DEFMACRO defined in an external file which can be -INCLUDEd as part of your styling and then, in each report and for each columns that needs it, you just add a MACRO=... statement to apply the conditional styling.
Now, if by "conditional formatting" you mean different presentation of the data itself (such as decimal places, % symbol, etc.) then styling macros have nothing to do in there and you'd need to do something in your TABLE FILE body to change the way the data is presented (or formatted). Waz's question still remains a bit unanswered...
