Highlight Cell Color in Report Table

  • 1.  Highlight Cell Color in Report Table

    Posted Mon February 06, 2023 04:34 PM
    I am looking to highlight cells in a table based on the value. Example: -5% to 5% is green, 5% to 10% or -5% to -10% is yellow, and >10% or <-10% is red. Does anyone know a way to accomplish this? 


    I found a highlight function for columns in a report table where you can enter and If statement to show a color.  I am not sure if this option would be able to do it. I tried it but I can't get it to color the cells correctly.

    My teammate, Erin, did this recently where a client wanted to see red or green font, too, so sharing as well...


    This is what the Edit Column window looks like... 


    And the formula so you can copy/paste...   =Currency({$_},"#,##0",posColor="green")

    And this is the result...

    Thanks. I will add that into my report. Just curious. Is there a way to  color the background of the cell?

    Are you talking about something like this or conditional formatting?

    Conditional formatting

    @Kristine Klein, I believe you can use this. You have to highlight the column which you wish to do the conditional highlighting. In the formula window, you can basically put any formula to accomplish your logic. You can also use the HTML color code for specific shades of color.

    I was playing with that yesterday, but couldn't get it to work. I think I was doing the formula wrong. I will give this a try again. I do love all the information from this posting. I guarantee that I will be using both options for some of my reports.  Thank you all

    Wanted to add this to the thread. I was looking to highlight "greater than 10%" and "less than -10%." After some trial and error, this worked for me.
