There is some help here on how to create new fields to display with background shading. You need to make new fields, you cannot just do Conditional formatting like in Excel. So typically you a a field for data entry and another field for use in display mode on a report or form.

- _anomDiebolt_8 years agoQrew EliteDon't follow the practice of backslash escaping double quotes shown in the help page:
"<div style=\"background-color:pink;\">"& [Priority] & "</div>"
Instead save your eyes and use single quotes:"<div style='background-color:pink;'>"& [Priority] & "</div>"
- QuickBaseCoachD8 years agoQrew CaptainThat was a helpful tip. I have never understood when to use singe quotes.
- _anomDiebolt_8 years agoQrew EliteYou can also use no quotes if there are no spaces in the attribute value:
"<div style=background-color:pink;>"& [Priority] & "</div>
