Conditional formatting with up and down arrows

[KB]

Hi all,

I am trying to apply a conditional formatting to a variances column, if higher than last year then shown up arrow (color red) if lower than last year then down (color green).

Not sure how you can achieve this?

Hi KB, 

You will find it in the conditional formatting.

Thanks,

Hi KB: I don't know of a way to do arrows in a standard cube view.  The formatting options that would be most applicable for coloring in a Cube View would likely be:

• TextColor
• BackgroundColor
• BorderColor
• (+their Excel/Report equivalents)

You would set this in the Cube View > Rows and Columns > (select a report block) > Formatting > Cell Format.  Use a condition of If (CellAmount ... ) Then ...

I have done that with cell format as Wingdings but not sure what I need to include to return a text?

1. XFS Cube View Styles in Dashboard -> Parameters -> Conditional_Formatting

2. In Cube Attach this Formatting in the data Section and Make sure you select as Combo Box. so it will return as string.

3. You can use the conditional formation on the Amount Column and that should work.

Can you share the content of your Conditional_Formatting parameter.  I'm not quite following how this is used.

My bad, I understood that part.

What is the text/details of the 'Conditional_Formatting' parameter?  I assume that is where you have the conditional logic?
