Conditionally format subtotal for matrix report

I have a matrix that will pull out the current quarters sales figures. I want to change the color of the subtotal font ONLY when we are in the current period. I have a boolean field in the matrix report that is true when it is the current month.

For example, at the end of last month it displays January, February and March figures. I want the sub total to display the totals for January and February in white, whilst the totals for March are Yellow.

Any ideas anyone?

You can use expression for the subtotal style. Just check the value of your bool field in the expression, and return the corresponding color.|||

Unfortunately, that doesn't work.

I am using a condition in the color field of the subtotal properties checking the boolean value - and it ALWAYS thinks that the value is true, whether it is or not. Problem is that I have a mixture in my matrix - the previous 2 months hold false, the current month true and I am displaying all 3 months.

I am using the following in the color field in the properties of the subtotal:

=IIf(Fields!CurrentPeriod.Value, "Yellow", "White")

And it is showing yellow for all months.

Any pointers greatfully received

Hi folks,

I have tried various methods for conditional formating in subtotal. Everything is working in development environment, but when i deploy and see the report in the http://ReportServer/reports, it is not being implemented. But when i print from the report from report server, i can see the conditional format !!!!

Can anyone give solution for this?

Hi there,

This worked for me:

=iif(inscope("Rating_Group") and inscope("RowRating_Group"),"white","Gainsboro")

Use in any of the attributes (Font, Color, Borderstyl) of the Data cell, in other words the cells that will contain the values of the matrix.

"Rating_Group" and "RowRating_Group" simply represent the Group which the subtotal belongs to. I had two subtotals on my report that's why I used both.

This can be a column group or a row group.

You should be able to format the subtotals to your heart's content with this beaut.

Conditional Format

I have a report that I would like to highlight some rows in it. I would have
to change the backgound color and set font to bold. The backgound color and
the flag to bold or not would be return by the stored procedure with the
data. For example:
'Gross Sales', 100, 'LightGrey', 'Bold'
'Net Sales', 80, '','' or 'Net Sales', 80, 'Transparent','Normal'
Is there a way to set formatting conditionally like that based on data
returned? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Carmen.Hi Carmen
I assume that you are using a table to provide these rows. If you select
the row and click on the Background Color property, the top option is
'<expression>'. Selecting this takes you to a window that allows you to
access fields from your dataset.
something like '=Fields!BackgroundColor' entered here should do what you are
looking for, provided that your stored procedure returns a value that
definitely matches a color selection.
A similar thing can be done under the Font>FontWeight property for the row.
All the best,
Ed Allison

background color expression you might place. (ie the query colum names
Select col, whatever, backcolor, fontweight from yourtable..)
=Fields!backcolor.Value
If the backcolor value might be empty you can provide a default value ie
=IIF(Fields!backcolor.Value is nothing,
'SomeDefaultColor',Fields!backcolor.Value)
(it would probably be better to provide a default back color in the query,
so it can be changed more easily than going into each expression tho.)
Hope this helps...

set backgound and bold since joining two queries on the report seemed a
little too complicated. However, I might use you guys suggestion in the
future.
Thanks again,
Carmen.

Conditional Font Weight

I need to conditionally set the font weight of my data when a calculation is equal to or less than 70. I am using the following expression in the font weight property:
=iif(( Fields!Answer1.Value/ Fields!SumStudents.Value)*100 <=70, "Extra Bold", "Normal")
I get no errors when I run my report, however it does not apply the correct weith to my display. I am positive the calculation is correct since I use it in other conditions and they work fine.
Any help would be apreciated.Extra Bold maps to 800. You can check this by placing a textbox on the
design surface and setting the Font Weight to Extra Bold. Next open the code
view for the report and check the value serialized for the textbox font
weight.
=iif(( Fields!Answer1.Value/ Fields!SumStudents.Value)*100
<=70, "800", "Normal")
