Problem with ColorMix1 function

Hello

I have a pivot table with two dimensions in the rows i have he ID, and in de colums i have the months of the year

i whant to set, for each row (id)  the background color of the cell in function of the value that is showed,  and so the user can see quickly in witch month

there are problems.

somenthing like this

ID=MonthName(FECHA)ene 2014feb 2014mar 2014abr 2014may 2014jun 2014jul 2014ago 2014sep 2014

0201 263636701331064946
0203 104493629423450462

in the background color of the expresion, i use the wizard of the color mix to generate the color funcion, and the wizard generate this expresion:

ColorMix1 ((1+Sign(2*(count(DISTINCT Cod)-RangeMin (top(total count(DISTINCT Cod),1,NoOfRows(total))))/(RangeMax (top(total count(DISTINCT Cod),1,NoOfRows(total)))-RangeMin (top(total count(DISTINCT Cod),1,NoOfRows(total))))-1)*Sqrt(Fabs((2*(count(DISTINCT Cod)-RangeMin (top(total count(DISTINCT Cod),1,NoOfRows(total))))/(RangeMax (top(total count(DISTINCT Cod),1,NoOfRows(total)))-RangeMin (top(total count(DISTINCT Cod),1,NoOfRows(total))))-1))))/2, ARGB(255, 255, 255, 255), ARGB(255, 255, 0, 0))

when i saw the result first , it seem ok , the cell that have a high value are red and the lower balue are whitem,

but  are wrong.

i have attached the example, in the first row, for example the september 2014 cell have a value of 22, (lower than the others cell of the same row) but the the color is RED .

it seem that with the expresion generated with the wizard the background color is calculated with the value of the complete colum instead of the complete row.

if i pivot the table and put the month in the rows and the id in the columns the colors are calculated right but this visualization is very confused for the user, the user need see id in the rows and the month in the colums.

anybody know how to use colormix to do this, and calculate the brightness of the color depending of the value of the cell in each row??

thanks in advance for your help

regards

Try replacing 'top' with 'first' and replacing 'NoOfRows' with 'NoOfColumns'
