Q:conditional formating

Hello,
I am trying to color negative detail lines with the following.
=iif((Fields!Amt1.Value-Fields!Amt2.Value)<0,"Red","Black")}
It is working if the value is not zero. Some 0.00 values are black but some
of them are red. What is problem?
Jim.Hi Jim
I think the problem is because you haven't specified the text color for
the result value zero.
You can try specifying the condition as "<=0" if you want the zero
values in red like
=iif((Fields!Amt1.Value-Fields!Amt2.Value)<=0,"Red","Black")
Else if you want zero values in black you can try
=iif((Fields!Amt1.Value-Fields!Amt2.Value)>=0,"Black","Red")
Hope this solves your problem

red. Is there any precession issue?
