If statement for background color

Hello,

Need help in setting the background color right using the if statement.

If(curreny='USD', (column(1)-column(2))/column(2)>0,green(),red())

or 

If(curreny<>'USD', (column(1)-column(2))/column(2)>0,green(),red()) 

I need to get this right.

Currently the if statement I have works when currency selection is not USD but when I select 'USD' the color representation is wrong

This doesn't look like it's valid Qlik syntax. Your if() statement has four arguments and Qlik only accepts three- if(Condition,Then,Else).

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

If(curreny='USD' and (column(1)-column(2))/column(2)>0,green(),red())

This would be the syntax, did you just send an example?  it looks like = USD & <> USD both have the same logic so you must want to do something different if you are trying to split them out. 

If(curreny='USD',

    If((column(1)-column(2))/column(2)>0,green(),red())

,If(curreny<>'USD',  If((column(1)-column(2))/column(2)>0,green(),red())

I need below statement  if currency selected is USD 

( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Current'}>} sales_USD))-( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales_USD))
/
( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales_USD))>0, green(),red())

if currency selected is  EUR

( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Current'}>} sales))-( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales))
/
( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales))

>0,green(),red())

May be something like this ( ensure expressions are properly formatted)  - 

Pick(Match(Currency,'USD','EUR'),

( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Current'}>} sales_USD))-( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales_USD))
/
( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales_USD))>0, green(),red()),

( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Current'}>} sales))-( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales))
/
( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales))

>0,green(),red())

)

I think you missed 'If' before your expression.

Pick(Match(Currency,'USD','EUR'),

if(( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Current'}>} sales_USD))-( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales_USD))
/
( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales_USD))>0, green(),red()),

if(( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Current'}>} sales))-( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales))
/
( sum(distinct{<Price= {'Launch'}, Date= , MonthYear=>} sales))

>0,green(),red())
