Conditional Formatting in a Matrix Control

Hi there.

I am creating a report that the requirements need different background colors based on the row or column as shown below:

Community Total # of Respondents Resident's Overall Satisfaction Rating Quality of Repair May '07 41 3.6 5.0 April '07 14 1.8 3.0 Q2 '07 55 2.7 4.0 March '07 36 3.6 3.0 February '07 28 4.0 1.2 January '07 22 2.2 4.0 Q1 '07 86 3.3 2.7 YTD '07 141 3.0 3.2 December '06 33 3.8 4.2 November '06 27 2.6 5.0 October '06 42 1.8 3.0 Q4 '06 102 2.7 4.1 September '06 58 4.0 2.2 August '06 84 2.0 1.6 July '06 52 3.2 3.4 Q3 '06 194 3.1 2.4 June '06 40 2.4 4.2 May '06 41 3.6 5.0 April '06 14 1.8 3.0 Q2 '06 95 2.6 4.1 March '06 67 N/A 3.8 February '06 38 N/A 2.8 January '06 N/A 3.8 N/A Q1 '06 105 3.8 3.3 YTD '06 496 2.9 3.5 Rolling 12 Month Average 477 2.9 3.3

I can get the row colors to work great with an expression, but when I try to add the gray column with conditional formatting for the Resident's Overall Satisfaction Rating question, it clobbers my row formatting. I am thinking that I will have to do some gnarly expression in each of the rows and columns using the InScope function. Does that sound about right, or is there an easier way?

Thanks, Mike

Actually, this was easy once I looked at it again. On the detail cell, I just added another condition that identified the column in question and set the color appropriately. Works great.

Sometimes it just takes another look!
