Two different choices of colors following a rule in a table

[Jlary]

Good morning,
I am working on a dashboard and I would like to add colors to it according to certain conditions.
1st condition: if the Evol N N-1% column is > 0 then I color in red and green for the rest, IF call classification = CARENCE
2nd condition: if the Evol N N-1% column is > 0 then I color in green and red for the rest, IF call classification = EXTREME EMERGENCE

Is it possible ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jlary,

Color coding based on expressions is possible in Spotfire.
Having said that, I'm not sure if I follow the proposed logic and the color coding in the screenshot.

The first condition is "if the Evol N N-1% column is > 0 then I color in red and green for the rest, IF call classification = CARENCE". To me, that means that whenever the classification is CARENCE and the Evol N N-1% is greater than 0, the color should be red. Else it should be green. This matches the coding, since the Evol N N-1% is smaller than 0.
But the second condition "if the Evol N N-1% column is > 0 then I color in green and red for the rest, IF call classification = EXTREME EMERGENCE ", I would have expected the same green color, since the Evol N N-1% is greater than 0 and the classification is EXTREME EMERGENCE (which matches the condition and the color should be green).

Is there a typo in one of the 2 conditions or your example perhaps?

In any case, no matter how your conditions would look like, I would advise to create a calculated column that looks like this:
CASE  WHEN ([Classification]="CARENCE") AND ([Evol N N-1%]>0) THEN "RED"
WHEN ([Classification]="EXTREME URGENCE") AND ([Evol N N-1%]>0) THEN "RED"
ELSE "GREEN" END

You can use this column to color code the two Evol columns, using the next set up:

Thank you for your reply.

I understand what needs to be done but I think that the way I constructed the table does not allow it to be achieved.

I created two calculated columns N and N-1:

N : If([Year]=integer(Year(Today())),1,0)

N-1 : If([Year]=integer(Year(Today()) - 1),1,0)
My file is in this form:

Code Intervention	classification appel	date	Year	N	N-1
0001	CARENCE	24/01/2023	2023	0	1
0002	EXTREME URGENCE	24/02/2023	2023	0	1
0003	CARENCE	24/03/2023	2023	0	1
0004	CARENCE	24/04/2023	2023	0	1
0005	EXTREME URGENCE	24/06/2023	2023	0	1
0006	CARENCE	24/02/2024	2024	1	0
0007	EXTREME URGENCE	24/03/2024	2024	1	0
0008	EXTREME URGENCE	24/04/2024	2024	1	0
0009	CARENCE	24/05/2024	2024	1	0
0010	EXTREME URGENCE	24/06/2024	2024	1	0

So I sum the columns to get my value per month.

Here is my calculation for Evol N N-1% :

The calculation of this new calculated column is therefore not possible :

CASE  WHEN ([Classification]="CARENCE") AND ([Evol N N-1%]>0) THEN "RED"
WHEN ([Classification]="EXTREME URGENCE") AND ([Evol N N-1%]>0) THEN "RED"
ELSE "GREEN" END

 

I hope you understand.

Hi,

I think you should be able to use the calculated column Evol N N-1% in another calculated column.
If the classification doesn't have a real impact, the color coding case statement can be a lot easier: CASE  WHEN [Evol%]>0 THEN 'RED'
ELSE 'GREEN' END

I have tried to use your data in a dashboard, but made some changes in the N and N-1 columns to see be able to better see the differences.
I have, in attached dashboard, used a table and cross table to implement the color coding.

Kind regards,

David

I have version 12.0.1.41, I cannot read your file because my version cannot read version 14 files.

Ah right, I'll try to replicate this dashboard in that  version.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Please find the dashboard in SF12 attached.

Hi, I succeeded using this expression :

case  when (first([classification appel] in ("CARENCE", "EXTREME URGENCE"))=True) and ((Sum([N]) - Sum([N-1]))<0) then "red" 
when (first([classification appel] in ("CARENCE", "EXTREME URGENCE"))=True) and ((Sum([N]) - Sum([N-1]))>=0) then "green" 
when (first([classification appel] not in ("CARENCE", "EXTREME URGENCE"))=True) and ((Sum([N]) - Sum([N-1]))<0) then "green" 
when (first([classification appel] not in ("CARENCE", "EXTREME URGENCE"))=True) and ((Sum([N]) - Sum([N-1]))>=0) then "red" end

Thanks for your help.
