Visual Cue help needed

Mon, 03 Nov 2014 05:50:04 GMT

I have the following pivot chart:

It has 2 dimensions (StaffMember & Date) , the expression is a sum(hours).

My problems is the following:

1. I have a table with every date of the year and the minimum hours is captured in it (public holidays & weekend days is marked with 0 hours), i need the dimension(date) at the top to display in blue, then any days with 0 hours needs to be a different colour.

2. My minimum hours per day worked is captured per staff member in a seperate table, i need a visual cue that can take the hours from the table then display change the colour of the values that is smaller than the minimum.

Eg: Member 1 is 7 hours per day, Member 2 is 8 hrs, Member 3 is 7 and Member 4 is 8., which means on the 30/11/2014 both the 5 & 6 should be in red

Any help will be much appreciated, all my efforts for the above has been null. I have tried running it in the visual cue tab, then i can only use one value to change colour (eg anything smaller than 😎 and the date colour change i managed but then i have to select click the date field to change it colour

Click the + next to the your chart expression (in the Properties | Expression dialog), and then enter the condition in the Text Color box. You would need something like:

If(Sum(hours) = 0, LightGray(), If(Sum(hours) < MinimumHours, LightRed()))

Where MinimumHours is the staff member's minimum daily hours.

To set the header to display in blue, you will need to use custom formats.To set a custom format, turn on the design grid (View | Design Grid). Then right click on the header line and select Custom Format Cell.

hi,

I hope you don't mind me asking a question on this matter,

i am looking to add 2 values:

=if([Last Order Date UK]<=today()-90,rgb(250,200,26),rgb(0,0,0))
=if ([Last Order Date UK]<=today()-90,rgb(255,0,0),rgb(0,0,0))

There is no error but also no return, when i add only a single line it works ok...
I am also trying to add a visual cue based on one expression to another expression so the colours follow through certain cells.

I have tried these, but they do nothing.

Only([Last Order Date UK])=today()-90
and
=[Last Order Date UK]=today()-90
There is no expression error but the colouring does not occur.

I am trying to add this to a differnt expression in the list to that for [UK Last Order Date] which obviously just works with the following:

Upper >=today()-90 Black

Normal Orange

Lower <=today()-180 Red

Thank you if you can assist with this.

Regards,

Daniel
