Query Studio
Highlighting Key Information with Conditional Styles
|
You can define conditional styles to highlight key information
in a report. You can use conditional styles with numeric data, text data,
and date values.
For example, use conditional styles to highlight all revenue
greater than five million in green and all revenue less than one million
in red.
To Highlight Key Information:
- .
- On the Tab Toolbar, click
Open Query Studio.
The Query Studio page opens. The query items you can use are listed
in the left pane.
Note:The link is visible
only if you are licensed as a Query Studio or Report Studio
Author.
- Click the report item for
which you want to define conditional styles.
- From the Change
Layout menu, click Define Conditional
Styles.
- If the report item is a
measure or date, do the following:
- For a measure,
in the New value box, type the
value that you want and click Insert.
The value appears under the Range
column, and two ranges are
created.
- For a date, click
Select a date and time and specify
the date and time you want.
The date appears under the Range
column, and two ranges are created.
- For each range,
under Style, click one of the
predefined styles that you want to apply to the range, or click the edit
style button and
create your own style.
Tip: You can modify the predefined styles.

values.
Tip: Under Style, pause
the pointer over each bracket to see the condition produced for each range.
- If you want to
move a value above or below a threshold, click the arrow button next
to the value.
For example, if the highest value you insert is five million, and the
next highest value is one million, the condition created for the five
million value is Greater than one million and less than or equal to five
million. Moving the five million value above the threshold will produce
the condition Greater than or equal to five million.
