How to dispay -ve numbers in red color
I have a numeric field. I want to display all -ve numbers of that field in red color. How can I do so?

- I assume by "-ve" you are referring to negative numbers. This is an uncommon shorthand in the US.
You would use a row colorization formula in the report:
If( [field] < 0, "red") - But I don't want to color the entire row as I have several other numeric fields that may also contain negative number. I only want to color the negative values. Is that possible?
- Use a text formula field with some HTML allowed and a formula such as this:
If( [field] < 0,
"<span style='background-color: #EA3C53'>" & ToText([field]) & "</span>",
[field]
)- It works perfect to me, the only you need is to transform the last field in text :
If( [field] < 0,
"<span style='background-color: #EA3C53'>" & ToText([field]) & "</span>",
ToText ([field])
)
Thanks.
- Text formula field wouldn't help as I need to summarize the field for reporting.
- Summarize on the original numeric field not the formula.
- Then within the summery report is it possible to show the negative numbers in red some how?
- Using the IF statement doesn't seem to work, as the number (difference) is showing as a positive number. How can I get 8-5 to equal -3 instead of 3?
