Hello

   According to my knoweledge dynamic formatting is not directly provided

you can do this using "Print when Expression".

you should create 2 boxes A & B

box A color red and box B yellow color

now in box A print when expression use expression like

new Boolean ($F{severity} == 1?true:false)

and in box B print when expression use expression like

new Boolean ($F{severity} == 2?true:false)

this will help U.

I never tested for this use, but perhaps is it also possible to use conditionnal style, that is to set the background color for example according to a boolean expression. It's more "light" to manipulate than several boxes and "print when".

I have already used that for alternate color stripes in the detail section, by putting the text fields inside a frame which has a conditionnal style driven by the value of "report_count modulo 2".

I don't know if it is possible with a crosstab object

PS : there is also a "style" property in a crosstab "box", so I think that the conditionnal style may be used to have different  background colors.

The modulo 2 works also fine in the detail band!

Create a filled rectangle around the details and attach the following expression to the "print when expression" property:

line 1 : no rectangle printed

line 2 : rectangle printed

line 3 : no rectangle printed

line 4 : rectangle printed

etc...

 

Code:

new Boolean($V{REPORT_COUNT}.intValue()%new Integer(2).intValue()==0)
