Color Coding Fields
I am trying to make a report that color codes the individual fields based on a given specification range. For example, the one I'm starting with I want to highlight the field in red when the number is...

Try this
If([Lot Sensory Score:] > 1.5,
"<div style=background-color:red>" & ToText([Lot Sensory Score:]) & "</div>",
ToText([Lot Sensory Score:]))
if you want to have more complex colors you can do this.
If(
[Lot Sensory Score:] > 1.5,
"<div style=background-color:red>" & ToText([Lot Sensory Score:]) & "</div>",
[Lot Sensory Score:] > 1.2,
"<div style=background-color:Blue>" & ToText([Lot Sensory Score:]) & "</div>",
[Lot Sensory Score:] > 1.0,
"<div style=background-color:yellow>" & ToText([Lot Sensory Score:]) & "</div>",
ToText([Lot Sensory Score:]))
There is also complete set of hex color codes here https://laurahillier.quickbase.com/db/bhy8pumuk?a=q&qid=-1000003&dr=1 which you can use instead of the color names in words.

- Thank you Mark. That ended up working to solve my issue. I figured that I had something in the base coding that was throwing it off.
For the complex colors, if I were to tie in a specific field reference and the number range, would that be an additional and statement within the if statement?
For example:
Field 1 = Type (i.e. A, B, C, etc.)
Field 2 = Sensory Score (the measured number)
Type A has a range of 1 - 1.2; Type B has a range of 1.2 - 1.5; etc.
Would the code look something like this:
If(
[Field 1] = C & [Field 2] > 1.5,
"<div style=background-color:Red>" & ToText([Field 2]) & "</div>",
[Field 1] = B & [Field 2] > 1.2,
"<div style=background-color:Blue>" & ToText([Field 2]) & "</div>",
[Field 1] = A & [Field 2] > 1.0,
"<div style=background-color:Yellow>" & ToText([Field 2]) & "</div>",
ToText([Field 2]))

------------------------------- ... you were close. & means concatenation, similar to excel and AND means boolean
If(
[Field 1] = C and [Field 2] > 1.5,
"<div style=background-color:Red>" & ToText([Field 2]) & "</div>",
[Field 1] = B and [Field 2] > 1.2,
"<div style=background-color:Blue>" & ToText([Field 2]) & "</div>",
[Field 1] = A and [Field 2] > 1.0,
"<div style=background-color:Yellow>" & ToText([Field 2]) & "</div>",
ToText([Field 2]))
