Using Conditional Style

[drummer54]

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the conditional style code below?

Style definition:
<style name="Style1" mode="Opaque" forecolor="#000000" backcolor="#FFFFFF">
     <conditionalStyle>
          <conditionExpression><![CDATA[$F{description2} == "Percentage Improvement"]]></conditionExpression>
          <style mode="Opaque" forecolor="#000000" backcolor="#DCE6F1"/>
     </conditionalStyle>
     <conditionalStyle>
          <conditionExpression><![CDATA[$F{description2} != "Percentage Improvement"]]></conditionExpression>
          <style mode="Opaque" forecolor="#000000"/>
     </conditionalStyle>
</style>

Text field definition using conditional style defined above:
<textField pattern="">
    <reportElement style="Style1" mode="Opaque" x="444" y="7" width="69" height="48" uuid="14c428e7-5078-41fc-833e-3868937c596d">
         <printWhenExpression><![CDATA[$F{description2} != "Percentage Improvement"]]></printWhenExpression>
    </reportElement>
    <textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Bottom" markup="html">
         <font fontName="Arial" size="9" isBold="true"/>
    </textElement>
    <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{description2} + "<br>Individual Requirements"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

No matter what the value of $F{description2} the background color is white.

Make use of ternari condition. See the dashboard example for conditional coloring code if you use professional server.

If you don't use it, connect to demo server and see the dashboard reports to find out confitional coloring to the text or back groud color for the text. Hope this will helpful.
