Study Notes
Conditional Formatting in Flow.BI Reports
- Conditional formatting visually highlights data in Flow.BI reports, applying to text and data bands.
- It dynamically adjusts component appearance based on data conditions, enhancing report readability.
Steps to Apply Conditional Formatting
- Select Component: Choose the text or data band component needing formatting.
- Open Editor: Right-click the selected component, select "Conditional Formatting."
- Create Condition: Click "Add Condition" to establish a formatting rule.
-
Define Condition: Enter a logical expression (e.g.,
{FieldName} > 100
) to specify formatting application criteria. - Set Format: Customize appearance (font color, background, style) if the condition is met.
- Add More Conditions (Optional): Use logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) to build multiple criteria-based formatting rules.
Formatting Options
- Highlight: Basic highlighting of data meeting a specific condition.
- Data Bar: Displays relative value with a colored bar.
- Color Scale: Presents data points using a color gradient.
- Icon Set: Uses icons (e.g., checkmark) to represent values (success).
Example
-
Highlighting Sales: Apply red text to sales figures exceeding 1000.
- Select the sales figure component.
- Open the Conditional Formatting editor.
- Add a new condition.
- Set the expression to
{SalesFigure} > 1000
. - Set the font color to red.
Additional Tips
-
Use Expressions: Leverage
{FieldName}
to reference data fields from report components. - Multiple conditions: Combine conditions with logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) for sophisticated formatting.
- Testing: Evaluate formatting on various datasets to ensure accuracy.
- Custom Styles: Develop custom formatting styles for consistent presentation.
- Data Bar Condition: Displays a colored bar representing the relative value of a data point.
- Icon Set Condition: Uses icons to visually represent data values.
- Multiple Conditions: Create complex formatting rules using logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) for deeper insights.
- Formatting Styles: Develop and apply custom formatting styles for consistency.
- Testing: Thoroughly test your formatting on diverse datasets.
