20. Dynamic Text and Dynamic Colour (Conditional Formatting)

20.1 The fx Button

Almost every text and colour setting in the Format pane has a small fx button. It means: "Take this value from a field or measure instead of typing it." Clicking fx opens a dialog. For titles you choose Format style: Field value and a measure that returns text. For colours you choose Gradient, Rules or Field value.

Ravindra Bagale's Tip

Friends, many students look for conditional formatting in the wrong place. Almost any property with a small fx button (titles, colours, backgrounds, font colours) can be driven by a measure. Look for fx before assuming something can't be dynamic. Clear?
