i want to set the report Different background in alternative rows(like even number rows one background color and odd number rows in one background colour)how i do this one?
Indeed, this can be done with the help of alerters,but we need to use some local variables and functions in it.. The procedure is:
- create a local variable evenline,in which u need to use the formula called =Even(LineNumber()). ( here , LineNumber() function returns the number of current line in the block and Even(LineNumber()) returns 1 for a even line number and returns 0 for a odd line number.
-- Now create an alerter and go to the conditions tab , and put the localvariable's name evenline , in the variable to compare field. and then for operator 1 , choose = then for value box, type 1 then in the results box , do the formatting stuff u needed
