Color the total row

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 23:17:21 GMT

I have a chart where the background colors are changed for each of the expression , I have an expression something like if col1>col2 then yellow kind of , my problem is even total row is getting colored when the above condition is satisfied which I don't want.

I tried changing the background color by right click custom format cell , dimenstionality() , rowno () = 0 in the if statements .. nothing worked , how do I specify not to color total rows ...

Thanks

You should be able to detect the Total row in an if() with dimensionality(). Try adding a dimensionality() column to your chart to make sure you are testing the right value. Can you upload a sample?

Script:

ExampleData:

Load

Inline

[

Country, IsActive,Qty

A,Y,5

B,N,3

C,N,1

];

Straight table chart with Country and IsActive as dimensions.

First expression is sum(qty).

Expression 2 - Dimensionality()

Expression 3 - Dimensionality(), but with Total Mode set to No Total.

Expression 4 - Dimensionality(). Totals turned back on, Background Color set to

=if(sum(Qty)>10,LightBlue(),LightGray())

Expression 5 - Dimensionality(). Totals turned back on, Background Color set to

=if(Dimensionality()=0,red(),if(sum(Qty)>10,LightBlue(),LightGray()))

If you want to show as grey instead, try:

=if(Dimensionality()=0,RGB(240,240,240),if(sum(Qty)>10,LightBlue(),LightGray()))

The Background Color is available by clicking the plus symbol next to the expression.
