Formatting Total of Subtotals in Matrix

Need your help with formating color of subtotal cell.
Here is my scenario:
Matrix with are 2 row's groups:
- RowKat
- RowSubKat
and 2 column's groups:
- ColKat
- ColSubKat
I want to have my subtotal cell of RowKat, in ColKat subtotal scope
(most outer total of subtotals), to be green where it's value is > 55
Is it possible?
KamelIs it possible to define Row Subtotal in scope of Column Subtotal?|||Hi Kamel. I had a similiar scenario some time back. I could not find
anyway of doing this. the most one could do is to format the whole
subtotal, but it can't be conditionally formatted (as in differently
colored column subtotals). I had to modify the dataset-query to have
another row, and then put the conditional formatting in that row.

Formatting subtotals in Matrix reports

I am trying to alter the color of a cell of a subtotal based on the value of the subtotal.
Example: =IIF(Subtotal.Value < 20 ,"Brown","Blue")
This doesn't work. How do I refer to the value of a subtotal inside an expression' I think it has something to do with InScope(). I have definitely clicked the little green tab and am getting the correct properties window.Please see this posting:

formatting matrix subtotals

Hi,
have had a look at the archives and there is some good info there
about having different formatting for subtotals as compared to the
actual data columns. What I want to do though, is have the same
formatting applied to the subtotals as to the data columns.
I have 9 data columns which all have a formula applied to the font
colour setting along the lines of:
=iif( sum(Fields!PD_Sales_Var_LY.Value) < 0 , "Red","Black")
This works fine in the column and in preview, it works on the subtotals
as well but when I deploy to the server, it loses the formatting on the
subtotals and all numbers are in default "Black"
Any ideas ?
Rgds
GeoffUpdate on this
It appears that the subtotals will only inherit the formatting from
data columns if there is absolutely no formatting applied to the
subtotals themselves. I made the mistake of adding a border property to
the subtotals, thinking it would not affect inheritance of the font
property but obviously it does.

format totals and subtotals on a matrix

i have a matrix with drill down, we have a divisional total, and a sub division total
i would like the background colour on the totals to be the same as the background colour on matrix columns ie division is blue and sub division is grey
--
Many thanks
JezThink of matrix subtotal cells as having two levels of style properties. The
first level deals with the cell that contains the default string "Total".
The second, or value cell, can be reached by clicking the green arrow in the
upper right corner of the Total cell. You will get the results you are
looking for if you set the background color of the group and the subtotal
value cell to the same color.

=IIF(Sum( Fields!Measures_Variance.Value )< 0,"Red", "Black")
it still works on the main body of the matrix, but not the sub totals and totals
and ideas?

Instead, I read that one person suggested this approach - which worked well for me. Format the matrix data cell with something like:
=iif(InScope("Quarter"), "Transparent", "DarkGray")
Where "Quarter" refers to the group name. This is the only way I found I could get the background color of my subtotal rows and columns to appear the way I wanted.
Bruce Johnson [MSFT] pointed this out as a possible solution at http://sqljunkies.com/Newsgroups/microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs/2004/6/30/281309.aspx, adding that such formatting should be more intuitive and he will pass his observations to the development team. In the meantime, however, at least we have an effective workaround.

* style properties explicitly defined on the Subtotal element will always
win over styles defined on the _top-level_ reportitem in a matrix cell.
* If a horizontal subtotal intersects with a vertical subtotal and both of
them have explicit styles defined for the same style property, the
horizontal subtotal style will win.
* If the top-level reportitem in a matrix cell is e.g. a rectangle (which
could contain a textbox), only the rectangle's styles are overridden by the
subtotal styles. The styles of contained reportitems are not affected.
Consequently, you might have to consider the case where you use the InScope
approach but - for a particular style property - you have specified an
explicit value on the Subtotal, and the reportitem where you use InScope
expression is the top-level reportitem in a matrix cell.

Format subtotals in matrix report

How can I make the total in the bottom row of a matrix report bold?
Thanks,
James.Clicking on the small green triangle in the upper right hand corner of a
matrix subtotal cell will expose the subtotal row or columns style
properties in the Properties window.

I spent AGES trying to find out how to do this! I will pay more attention to
green triangles in future.
