Posted on by Community Member

Hello Folks,

I have a challenge in achieving the following task

I have a SSRS report developed using RDP class. I need to color one of the column based on the field value of previous record and current record. I am new to SSRS reports, any help would be highly appreciated.

Please see the below image of the report, i need to compare the value of style id column(highlighted with red) and if there is a same value for style id in the next record, then Logo1 fields should be colored ( for both the records, highlighted with blue ink)

Thanks in Advance.

Have a Great Day!

    Hi,

    can't you use a expression based on  comparing the current against the previous row?

    Hello Douglas,

    Thanks for your response, using the Previous() can I also color the previous record column or only the current record column ?

    Damned,

    for sure, it will work only for the current row.

    Due to the lack of the opposite next function, and use some combination of both, maybe another possible way is creating a flag in the records during creation of the temptable data during creation, considering the next record in the query (and after query is finished, to set the flag for the last) and evaluating this flag for colouring of the current record in ssrs.

    But you need some fixed order of data in selection/creation of temp table and the order from the dataset.

    Another way is using an ascending rownumber field within the temptable and simulate next through a lookup of the next record by this rownum+1

    sorry, didn't consider the colouring of the first row :-(

    Regards Douglas

    Thanks Douglas, Adding a flag during data creation is what I thought as an alternative if the coloring cant be achieved from the report side functions. Thanks for directing me towards this
