If the premade conditional formatting
options in Analyzer are not precise enough
for your needs, you can apply custom formatting to a measure by using an MDX
expression.
-
Right-click a measure in the
grid, then select Column Name and Format from the context
menu.
The Edit Column dialog box appears.
-
Select
Expression from the Format
drop-down list.
A default MDX expression that prints green or red arrows in cells if their values are greater than or less than zero, respectively, appears in the
MDX Format
Expression
field.
Case
When [Measures].CurrentMember > 0
Then '|#,##0|arrow=up'
When [Measures].CurrentMember < 0
Then '|#,##0|arrow=down'
Else '|#,##0'
End
-
Modify the expression to suit your needs. Consult Conditional Formatting Expressions for more information on conditional formatting syntax and options.
Note: If the MDX expression is invalid, an invalid report definition error
appears at the top of the dialog box.
-
Click OK to commit the change.
The Analyzer
report will refresh and apply the formatting choices you specified.
