Dimension values color

Hello,

I have a pivot table with two dimensions: "Months" as rows, and "Year" as columns (2012, 2013, 2014). i need the "Year" dimension values, 2013, 2013, 2014 to appear in 3 different backgrounds colors (green, red, blue). Please see below (except that here a changes the text color as opposed to the background color).

Any Ideas?

Thanks

On your Year dimension, click on the plus sign next to to it, then in Background Color, you can type in an expression like the following:

pick(match(Year, 2012, 2013, 2014), rgb(0,255,0), rgb(255,0,0), rgb(0,0,255))

Danny,

In the Expression tab, click on your Expression (there is a +)

You will see different properties.

You can enter the expression for the background. Basically: if(year=2010, red(), if(year=2011, blue()))

You can use also color(), rgb() ....
