Conditional Formatting

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:49:45 GMT

I have a pivot table as below

2345617654124325

Time	Scenario	Call Rate	Volume	Expenses	Base
Nov 2011	Actuals	6.2%	$2345K	2.3%	$2312K
Nov 2011	Budget	9.2%	2348
Jan 2012	Actuals	4.5%	77456
Jan 2012	Budget	3.1%	25656
Mar 2012	Actuals	4.9%	67456
Mar 2012	Budget	2.3%	24356
May 2012	Actuals	9.8%
May 2012	Budget	1.2%
July 2012	Actuals	1.7%
July 2012	Budget	2.8%

I want to add conditional formatting to Actuals value of all the metrics(Call Rate, Volume, Expenses....) based on the corresponding Budget value for the same month.

For example if Nov 2011.Actuals.Call Rate> Nov 2011.Budget.Call Rate then I want the background to be red. How do we perform this kind of conditional expression in Qlikview.

Request any thought or help in order to get this possible. Is this out of scope?

In the Background Color for each exppression: For example, in the "Repair Volume" expression.

=if(Scenario = 'Actuals'

AND sum([Repair Volume]) > sum({<Scenario={Budget}>}TOTAL<Time>[Repair Volume])

,LightRed()

)

Thanks Rob for the reply. It did work.

I also want to add multiple background colors depending on conditions. It does not seem to work. Is this the way we do it? or there is an another way to do? Also I am not able to find else function while writing these conditions.

=if(Scenario = 'Actuals'
AND sum([Repair Volume])> 0 and sum([Repairs Ops])<=sum({<Scenario={Budget}>}TOTAL<Time>[Repair Volume])
,LightGreen()
)

=if(Scenario = 'Actuals'
AND sum([Repair Volume])>sum({<Scenario={Budget}>}TOTAL<Time>[Repair Volume]) and sum([Repair Volume])<=1.05*sum({<Scenario={Budget}>}TOTAL<Time>[Repair Volume])
,LightCyan()

)

=if(Scenario = 'Actuals'
AND sum([Repair Volume])>sum({<Scenario={Budget}>}TOTAL<Time>[Repair Volume]) and sum([Repair Volume])>=1.05*sum({<Scenario={Budget}>}TOTAL<Time>[Repair Volume])
,LightRed()

)

Thanks,

Shikha

ELSE is the third parmater to IF(). It can be another IF(). So for example.

=if(some condition, red()

,if(another condition, blue()

,if(another condition, green()

,black() // The final "otherwise" condition

)))
