Conditional Formatting Expressions
Valid MDX format strings contain properties that apply special rendering for the HTML pivot tables. A format string follows this syntax:
| # , # # # | style = redThe leading | (pipe) tells Analyzer that this format string contains properties. The #,### is the measure's value format, which in this example is one number separated from three further places or decimal places by a comma (for instance: 3,667). style=red is a key/value pair; all possible keys and values are explained in the table below.
The following properties are supported by Analyzer:
| Indicator Type | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
| style | Changes the cell background color. | red, yellow, green |
| arrow | Shows a trend arrow that points up or down. A value of none will not render the arrow; this is useful in situations in which you only want to show one directional arrow instead of two. | up, down, none |
| link | Creates an HTML link which will open in a new window when clicked in Analyzer. | Any browser-renderable URL Must be a fully-qualified URL URL must be enclosed in quotes |
| image | Renders a custom image that you specify. This image file must be stored in the /pentaho-solutions/system/analyzer/resource/image/report/ directory. | An image file name, with extension |
