Highlight Row based on Multipule Choice Field

New to Quickbase.  Looking to highlight a row based on the status drop down.  I have the multiple choice drop down but cant figure out how to get it to highlight the row based on what is chosen.

    If([status]="value","#CCDDFF","")

    ^^ that would go into the report configuration. Do you know where that is?

  • var text MultiTextFormat = ToText([my multi sect field]);

    IF(
    Contains($MultiTextFormat, "apples", "red"),
    Contains($MultiTextFormat, "bananas", "yellow"),
    Contains($MultiTextFormat, "apricots", "orange"))

    for the actual colour codes I suggest using the hex codes in this app by another QSP Laura Thacker.  for example use say #FF6EB4 instead of red.

      Are you saying that you don't see 

      Color-code rows using a formula

      at the bottom of a table report configuration screen?

      Have you build a report?  If so, just "Customize this report" at the top right when viewing the report.

      If you have not built a report, then go to Reports and Charts and create a new report of type Table.
  • This worked only for my home screen.  When I click on the other screens they are not highlighted.

    Please advise.
  • Each separate report will need to have it's own formula for the row colors.  You will need to copy the formula to the other reports.
