Apex Conditional Highlight with Data linked from another table - sql

Question

I have two separate table that store data in Apex. The main table that feeds the report is current employees. The other table I have is essentially a list of terminated employees with other information on it.
I am trying to find a way that if a name stored in both tables, that row would show up red on the report.
I put this code as an SQL Query into the report query:
select ID,
PAINT_SHOP,
"LOCKER_#",
LOCKER_LOCATION,
DEPT,
ASSOCIATE_NUMBER,
NAME__CINTAS_,
AUDIT_NOTES_,
LOCKER_TRANSFER_REQUESTED
from LOCKER_AUDIT
where (LOCKER_LOCATION = :P12_LL or :P12_LL is null)
select
NAME__CINTAS_,
case when LOCKER_TERM_LIST.NAME = 'TERMINATED' then 'salmon' else 'black' end as event_color
from Locker_Audit, LOCKER_TERM_LIST where LOCKER_AUDIT.NAME_CINTAS_ = LOCKER_TERM_LIST.NAME
*LOCKER_AUDIT --> Table for data storage of report
*LOCKER_TERM_LIST --> Table storing termed employee data
I am receiving this error:

Here is an option. Say this is your report query:
select x.*
,case when y.employee_status = 'TERMINATED' then 'salmon'
else 'black' end as event_color
from current_employees x, old_employees y
where y.employee_id = x.employee_id
Then from the content body, expand COLUMNS and look for the column you want to see in different color and click on it.
On the right frame you will see a text area called HTML Formatting.
Use some HTML there, like:
<span style="color:#EVENT_COLOR#">#YOUR_COLOURED_COLUMN#</span>
I think this would work.
