  How to set a color out of database values?

  Jul 15, 2017 03:38 PM|Joerg Pauly|LINK

  Hello, everyone,

  I'm searching for a good hint for the following:

  In a LocalReport (rdlc) a duty roster shall appear. It's a pivot table; so no big thing.

  According to the kind of duty the cell shall set it's background color to a value that is stored in the database as HTML color value.

  I can't find any hint on how to set the so described color. I was appreciated about any help.

  Regards
  Joerg Pauly

  Hi Joerg Pauly,

  you can try to write expression like below.

  =iif(me.value<10,"Red","Green")
  

  it is just for an example, you can ty to change it according to your requirement.

  Reference:

  Hello,

  I found it myself:

  Color is written as a 24 bit hex value in a string column.
  I just need to Trim() the value, put a leading "#" to it and give it to the BackgroundColor property like that:

  = "#" + Trim(Fields!Color.Value)
