qlikview table. Format a background cell based on condition. like expression

Hi,

Can you change a background cell of a field based on a condition.

Currently the  Pivot table has this option but not the Table object.

Can anybody confirm ?

Thanks

Hi,

You are right, Table object doesnt have this functionality.

You should use Straight table instead of table box to get the functionality you want.

Thanks  Kaushik for recommendation of the Straight table.

Problem with Straight Table,  it does not provide the horizontal scroll bar.

The formating of columns is limited.

Have we reach a limitation in qlikview ?

The user wants to see over 30 columns like excel in a table. (hence need to scroll to the right)

with condition formating that exists with excel cells.  Such as change background colour based on a rule.

hello

if you use a straight table, you can change the background color

qv tries to show all the dimensions and show the scroll bar for the expressions

try to limit then number of dimensions and resize tour table

Thanks Olivier,

However my straight table I cannot make it smaller.

meaning i cannot seem to change the width smaller.

it keeps same size even when change the Width in caption.

The scroll bar should have an option to show both vertical and horizontal.

Thanks

Appreciate that.  But for some reason the horizontal bar will never appear

It seems when click on Presentation--->tick Always fully expanded

it move the border of the right table to FULL length...hence it seems it

width is unlimited. 

version of qlikview is 12.0.20400.0 SR5 64-bit

I see the problem

The scroll horizontal bar will never appear under the dimensions on the

left hand side.  Meaning if you have more than 3 dimensions say 20

it will only show the scroll bar when you put fields as columns on the top of the pivot table

which looks fairly ugly,

So the request was to show the fields and scroll to the right (horizontal)

this can be done in standard table...but the table functionality object lacks cell formatting.

It may be a quirk rather than a 'feature', but format your straight table (chart) as you want, then embed it in a container object and size that to something smaller than the size of the table. When it is published on the web, it will have a horizontal scroll bar. You  can check the effect by using WebView in your QV desktop edition.

Thanks,
