Hi Group: I have created a report where I want one of the columns (say col3) to be printed in a blue bold font when certain condition is satisfied else I want them to be printed in normal black font. I have included the following expression in the <printWhenExpression> tag in the <reportElement> tag.... new Boolean(!($F{col1}.equalsIgnoreCase("N/A")) && !($F{col2}.equalsIgnoreCase("N/A"))) When I run the report only those values which qualify for the above expression are printed and the rest are not printed in the report and left blank.... Am I missing something here....? Regards, BalaKishore
