Q:matrix rownumber?

Hello,
In the matrix representation I am using this to show different color in each
line, it says invalid running value.
=iif(RowNumber("DataSource1") mod 2 = 1, "WhiteSmoke", "LightCyan")
what is problem?
Thanks,

You need to remove the "= 1" part, so your statement looks more like this:
=iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, ""WhiteSmoke", "LightCyan")
You might have to exchange "Nothing" with your "Datasourc1", but try to use
this statement first.

one more point, my case is working when it is table presentation. it does
not work for matrix representation. Is RowNumber valid if it is matrix?
Thanks,
Jim.

that you're running into. Here's a description of how to do
what you want:

Also, you do not need to remove the "= 1". It works just fine with
that in there, however it is unnecessary.
