Showing images based on a condition

[cognos05]

Hi Guys,

I wanted to show an image based on the growth value .

if([Growth %]>=0.2)
Then ('../samples/images/icon_metric_trend_up.gif'))


But I am not able to get the image showing .

it just displays the text ../samples/images/icon_metric_trend_up.gif.

Is this the right approach .

That's the output I would expect from that expression.

Try an HTML item and put HTML in it.

Code Select Expand

if (<condition>)
then ('<img src="/folder/image.gif" />')

so i wanted to show the trend icon next to growth . so unlocked the cell and a brought a data item next to growth and specified the image .

How should I do that with html item.

Should I go for conditional formatting .

Use an image item, and use that expression as the URL source.

should define the image location in the dataitem. Got it thanks !!
