help:alternate background colors for datarows

2005-01-27 18:11

I am having problems alternating colors with my datarow. I am able to do simple ones like odd-even alternating.

My question is, Is it possible to have alternating datarow background color based on date?

For instance:

 

10251 Buenos Aires 07/15/2001 98.64 <-------------- Grey bg

10263 Paris 10/19/2001 106.75 <-------------- White bg

11320 Caracas 10/19/2001 88.10 <-------------- White bg

11111 AAAAAA 10/19/2001 98.64 <-------------- White bg

11112 BBBBBB 10/21/2001 106.75 <-------------- Grey bg

11113 CCCCCC 10/21/2001 88.10 <-------------- Grey bg

11114 DDDDDD 11/03/2001 11.00 <------------- White bg

11114 EEEEEE 11/03/2001 11.00 <------------- White bg

 

Thanks!!

any hints how this can be done?

I am able to alternate between odd/even rows using the REPORT_COUNT variable, but in this instance how do if know if a date has changed and hence alternate between colors? thanks!
