The Conditional Formatting dialog box enables you to add, edit, or delete format exceptions that conditionally set formatting attributes (font or color) to highlight data in your report output. Using the Format Exception dialog box (displayed when you click New or Edit), you can quickly and easily specify output formatting attributes for a selected layout object based on defined conditions.
This
dialog box contains:
Format Exceptions |
Lists the format exceptions that have been defined in the Format Exception dialog box. Formatting is applied in the order that the format exceptions are listed; a format exception will override a previous format exception if both evaluate to TRUE. |
New |
Displays the Format Exception dialog box to allow you to define a new format exception. |
Edit |
Displays the Format Exception dialog box to allow you to edit an existing format exception. |
Delete |
Deletes the selected format exception. |
Sample |
Shows sample output when the selected format exception evaluates to TRUE. If you choose to hide the object, the words "Hide the Object" display here. |
Up |
Moves the selected format exception in the Format Exceptions list up or down. Note: you can also drag and drop items in the list. |
