Hello,
I am using expressions for the first time
in SSRS. Eventually i want to design a dashboard.
I am testing an expression
at the very basic level.
I have added a text box on a report. I want the
report text box to change colours on different inserts into a table.
I
have a table with fields: FirstName, LastName, BirthPlace.
If I insert
into a table and the BirthPlace is 'London' I want the box to turn RED.
If i
insert into a table and the BirthPlace is 'Edinburgh; I want the box to turn
BLUE.
So far ive added my textbox to the report. I have clicked F4.
On the background colour of ii i have added the expression:
=SWITCH
(Fields!BirthPlace.Value = "London", "Red", Fields!BirthPlace.Value =
"Edinburgh", "Blue")
The report is set to refresh every 10 secords. I
have added both London and Edinbugh to the tables yet i have not seen the
colours change.
Am i going wrong anywhere?
Thanks
