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.
