Reference Cell Value Without Explicit Reference

  • I am working on setting some "conditional formatting" for various cells in a report. I cannot figure out how to reference the cell value without having to type an explicit name.

    I can reference the field value using: Fields!MyData.Value

    Or I can reference the cell value using: ReportItems!TextBox1.Value

    All I want to do is reference "Value". This would make setting up the formatting a lot easier as I could select all relevant cells and create an expression something like:

    =SWITH(VALUE = "Yes", "Pink", "No", "Yellow")

    Is there a simple way to do this? Or do I have to code each cell individually?

  • Hello Rob

    As far as I know there is no method available to create a "standard" conditional format based on a Cell value, because the concept of cell value just doesn't exist.

    You have to do it for each one I'm afraid.

    That's what I was afraid of. And did.

    Thank you for the response.
