Color Coding Text Boxes

[#1]

I have 5 text boxes containing the revenue figures for each location and a text box containing the total revenue

I want to shade background of each of the 5 text boxes depending on their % of the total.

I can get the formulae to shade red and green depending on if the values are over or under 30% this formuale I have applied to the background formulae of Market St, Shudehill & Victoria. Market st and Victoria use the same basic two colour shading for +/-50% and works

BUT i want to shade the boxes in a gardient

I have tried to apply a formulae to the Shudehill background which looksup the percentage and takes the clour from a table but this doesnt work

In my final model i would like to use the gradual shading and have a different shade for each of the values !% to 100%

Any ideas please?

I have a licenced edition at work but I cant open your file at home.. could you key in the formulae

You can use calculated Base Color... like below..

ColorMix1(

(Sum({$<Stop={'MKT'}>}Revenue)/Sum(Revenue))/

Max(Total Aggr(Sum({$<Stop={'MKT'}>}Revenue)/Sum(Revenue), Stop)),

White(),

Green()

)

===============

Now Chagne MKT according to your field cell name... i.e. SHU, VIC,SPS, PIC etc...

I have taken WHITE() and GREEN() color for color gradient but obviously you can change as per your choice...

Thats really helpful, nearly there i think. My fault this but in practice I didnt want the total value to be included. I wanted the darkest colour to be the highest value in the range of stops. So that the stop with the most revenue turned bright red. Could this be done?

Hi Glenn,

Is this what you require, it works, but I don't have time to explain it

Hi Glenn,

I will explain, did not realize you can't open the file

Step 1

Create a Variable called vColorIndex like below

Step 2 your text box Expression

Step 3 Your Background Color

Just change the Set Analysis for Stop for each Text Object

Hope that helps
