I am desperately trying to format the Field "FilmID" based on it's value. Could you provide me with a conditional expression to format values >= 3 in red color ? I am now trying to use conditional formatting on a text string: $F{FilmName} == "Jurassic Park". This has no effect! Thanks a lot in advance! <style name="Style2"> <conditionalStyle> <conditionExpression><![CDATA[$F{FilmName} == "Jurassic Park"]]></conditionExpression> <style mode="Opaque" backcolor="#3470E0"/> </conditionalStyle> </style> *EDIT* I finally figured it out: Operators like == are for numerical values and for strings I use .equals(""). Conditional Formatting in Jasper is complicated^^. Funnily != works for a string. So if I use Field == "ABC" it doesn't work but if I use Field != "ABC" it works. And if I use Field .equals("ABC") it also works.
