     Posted: 10 Mar 2010 at 1:52pm
Hello,
 
I have a 'DaysBehind' Field ..
 
If DaysBehind >= 4
then
yellow
else
if DaysBehind >=8
then
red
else
default color;
 
I tried going to the detail line > color tab > and adding in a formula :
 

If ({DaysBehind}>=4) Then Color CrYellow

Else
If ({DaysBehind}>=8) Then Color CrRed Else  
 
DefaultAttribute;
 
 
but it is throwing up an error 'the remaining text doesn't appear to be part of the formula (after the first 'Then')..
 
any ideas ?
 
thanks
Jenn

Drop 'COLOR' out.
You can use that for a custom RGB value as in color (100,12,8)
 

If ({DaysBehind}>=4) Then CrYellow Else

If ({DaysBehind}>=8) Then CrRed Else  
 
DefaultAttribute;

That being said your logic here would preclude RED from ever being used.
You would have to change the order or the syntax...
If ({DaysBehind}>=8) Then CrRed Else 

If ({DaysBehind}>=4) Then CrYellow Else

DefaultAttribute;
