Title: [Solved] Using a Condition to Highlight an entire row in Report Studio?
Post by: rvitatoe on 27 Oct 2005 10:32:37 AM
I have not been able to find a way to change the background of an entire row, depending on the value of a specific cell.Ã,  I can highlight that one cell, but that is it...

I would have to imagine it is possible, but I am not finding the answer.Ã,  Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

if you are able to highlight the one cell, then you're almost there. with the conditional explorer bar green, and the conditional value selected, associate each individual columns with the same variable and set the background properties.
Only those rows are hightlighted that meet the condition of that one cell.

It works.

Hi,

An easier alternative (possibly) would be to use the ancestor button to select 'list columns' before you apply the variable in the Conditional Style property, so it applies to all columns in one go.  In doing that, you do not have to go through the repetitive task of selecting each column in turn, applying the variable, then setting the colour.

Just a thought...

Best regards,

MF.
