Hi there,

I have a request from the users for conditional formatting on dates.

The report is about projects, and their start/end dates, and the status.

The idea would be that if the end date is over, and the project is still ongoing (not closed), the date should be displayed in red.

I found out using the cell script how to format the cells, but I'm stuck on the date comparison... (cell.Value <= Now() ???)

Can you please help?

Thank you in advance
Thomas

Cell script is the good place for conditional formatting.
In your cas I would suggest:
Code:
    if (! cell.IsTitle && cell.DateTimeValue < DateTime.Now) {
        cell.FinalCssStyle = "background:red;";
     }

Thanks!

It worked fine on the date comparison.

Now that I added the comparison of the string part, it seems not to work.

Is there something like cell.StringValue I am supposed to use when comparing strings?

Thanks!

Read the documentation in comments:
cell.DisplayValue (type = string) is the display value
cell.DoubleValue (type = double?) is the cell value for numeric
cell.DateTimeValue (type = DateTime? ) is the cell value for date time

To customize your calculation and cell display, you can assign
cell.Value (type = object) is the cell value: string, double or DateTime

cell.Value can be casted as a string or you can use DisplayValue.
