Straight Table Colours in Report Editor

[danielle_v]

Hi All,

I have a straight table where the expressions are either red or green based on a text colour expression. However, in report editor only the green is showing - the red results are just showing black (also the dimension/expression labels are showing black rather than white, although this is less important).

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried everything I can think of and I've searched on here, but to no avail!

I never noticed such behaviour else each kind of formatting like attribute-expressions, custom cell-format or visual-settings do work. Are you sure that you compare the right objects? There might be an earlier copy of it maybe within any (hidden) temp-sheet. To check open the properties of each one and look for the object-id.

If the above wasn't the cause then you could try it by creating a complete new object and/or new report - it's quite rarely but sometimes an object get corrupt.

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for your reply. It's definitely the same object that I'm comparing, and I've even created new objects but to no avail.

I've actually just changed the shade of the red slightly in the expression, and for some reason the new shade of red works - if I change it back to the original shade of red, it turns black again on the report version.

I still have absolutely no idea why it's behaving like this, but the amended shade of red is providing a workaround. All most strange!

I could imagine that there are differences between the various features to how many colors they could handle. How was the not working color defined and which worked now?
