Hi there

Thanks for the reply, it looks ok, but I dont want the colour coding to change in the process of grouping the data, The first too rows has to be Red since they dont meet the condition of my if statement in the TotalAmount expression background colour.

Im not sure how to exclude the values that are not matching on my if statement so that they dont get returned on the table.

that's because I changed the formulas in the expression.

go to the table properties, Expressions, and paste this in the Background Color for "Total Amount"

=if((TotalAmount=600) or (TotalAmount=400),red(),Green())

Cheers!

Hi, I cant use that expression since I will be hard coding the values of the TotalAmount, The expression that I used allows the values of the Total amount to change since they will need to be updated at times!!

its just that when I use that expression that I have used I am now strugling to group the data like in Total Amount table, whit the colours not changing.

Please see the attached files for clarity,

I have two excel files(Colour and Benchmark), The Colour excel file has Names and Amounts and The Benchmark have names and Benchmarks.

So in my colour coding Table on the Qlikview file, I calculated the TotalAmount of each person.

So to do the colouring, I am compering If Name in the Colour excel file match with BenchmarkName in the Benchmark excel file, and again check if TotalAmount I calculated is less than Benchmark in the benchmark excel file, the assign Red if TotalAmount is less or Green if TotalAmount is more than Benchmark, using this Expression: IF((xName = xBenchmarkName) and (TotalAmount < xBenchmark), Red(), Green())

So what I need is the way to exclude the columns where the Name and BechmarkName do not match and only return back the columns where they match in my table. The Total Amount table in qlikview file is just an example of how I want the Colour code table to look like.

IT's the same. Use:

=if((TotalAmount<xBenchmark),red(),Green())

Yes The expressions to match tha names and to check if TotalAmount is less than Benchmark are ok, but I want the columns that the names doesnt match not to be shown on my table.
