Study Notes
Color Scale Condition in Flow.BI Reports
- A powerful tool for visualizing numerical data distribution within a data column
- Uses a color gradient to highlight data trends, outliers, and patterns, making data insights clear and immediate
- Enables quick insights and improved decision-making
- Customizable color scales, including 2-color and 3-color options, are available
- Used in data bands, changing the background color of cells
How Color Scale Works
- Color Scale Definition: Defines the minimum, maximum, and (optionally) middle values and their corresponding colors.
- Data Value Mapping: Maps data values to colors based on their position relative to the minimum and maximum values.
- Component Coloring: Changes components' background colors based on the mapped colors from the scale.
Key Benefits
- Visual Clarity: Provides clear and immediate visual representation of data distribution.
- Quick Insights: Facilitates identification of data trends, outliers, and patterns.
- Enhanced Decision Making: Supports data-driven decision making by highlighting important data points.
- Customization: Allows customizing the color scale, including color choices and the number of colors (2 or 3).
Applying a Color Scale Condition
- Select Component: Choose the text component or data band for formatting.
- Open Conditional Formatting: Right-click on the component and select "Conditional Formatting".
- Add Condition: Click "Add Condition".
- Choose Color Scale: Select "Color Scale" condition type
- Configure Condition:
- Column: Choose the data column for the color scale.
- Color Scale Type: Select 2-color or 3-color scale.
- Minimum, Medium, Maximum Values: Set values for each color point.
- Minimum, Medium, Maximum Colors: Select colors for the scale.
