How do I color code calculated values in a SharePoint List (same column) that is greater than X? - formatting

I have SharePoint Designer 2013 and I am new to SharePoint / SharePoint Designer 2013

Do you want the calculated fields have different color based on their values? such as if the value is greater than X, we make it green.
if so, you may consider using Client Side Rendering, add some JS script to the page to achieve the goal.
SharePoint 2013 Client Side Rendering

Yes. You can do it . Add a div tag inside your calculated coloun and add some color like green, yellow and red .. and add your condition ..next bind the return value to the div ..

Colors[4] not showing color selection on Front Panel

I am trying to set the color of an indicator to different colors based on different values, like 1 = red, 2 = blue etc. Using guidance from a Youtube video (accessible using this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czUmPQmKmGU), I have created a Colors[4] control for the indicator I have after changing it to the "write" function.
The Problem on the front panel is that I am getting a control with numbers instead of a color box where I can select the colors to show based on the value. This was the control I got instead.
This is the control I am trying to achieve (below):
Is there any way that I can get the color box on my control instead of the number controls? I am not sure if it can be changed through a control on the front panel or something but what I have tried so far keeps leading me back to this problem.
Any advice is much appreciated
A color box control is just a U32 number (three bytes for RGB and one which is always 0), which is why that's what you get.
There is a right click plugin which adds a replace with color box option directly to the right click menu of unsigned 32 bit numbers, but I don't remember if it ships with LV or not.
If you don't have that, you can always just right click the indicator inside the cluster, select replace and navigate the palettes to find the color box. You can also copy a color box and then select the indicator and paste, which replaces the selected control.
The color[4] is actually an array of 4 colors (UInt32 as Yair said), that define 2 color gradients, one for the 'Off' state, and the other for the 'On' State of the control.
If you want to set the control's color, you will have to define all 4 of them.

Match two trellis pages between two different graphs

I want to have on the same page a pie chart and a bar chart, with trellis pages.
They both have 5 columns as trellis, so 5 different pages that you can visualize by scrolling down.
However, I would like to display the same pages at the same time for both graphs. For instance, let's imagine I'm on the pie chart, I scroll down one page - and so my pie chart is on page2 - I want my bar chart to automatically go to page 2 as well
I tried to use markings but although it links a bit the two graphs, it doesn't change the trellis pages automatically
Does anyone know how to do this ?
as #scsimon mentions, there's no native feature (nor API method, AFAIK) for this using a trellis. however, you can create a Property Control (I'd use a dropdown) in a Text Area, then use the same Document Property to your chart in a Limit By expression.
little more detail, assuming a data table like this:
A B CATEGORY
1 2 red
3 4 red
5 6 green
7 8 green
9 10 blue
11 12 blue
add a Text Area to the page and edit its contents
add a Property Control
click New to create a Document Property, give it a type String and a name category
change Set property value through to Unique values in column and choose the "category" column and click OK
save the Text Area contents
in your Pie Chart's Properties dialog, go to the Data page and look for Limit data using expression. click Edit
set the expression to: [CATEGORY] = "${category}" (don't forget the quotes or the Document Property won't be treated as a string and you'll get an error)
repeat steps 6 & 7 for your other chart
As #scsimon mentioned in the comments, it seems to be impossible. I found a way to have a similar representation though without using trellis visualization, by using text arena
I created a list box that contains the 5 columns I want to visualize, and then I select this list box as the vertical axis variable of the bar chart and the sector size of the pie chart
Then, by clicking on my list box, I can have a synchronized Pie chart and Bar chart (a bit different from what I expected but it also has some advantages like a multiple scale since a new graph is generated independently of the other variables)

Can you force a label on top of a bar chart in SQL Server Reporting Services?

I would like to ensure the labels of my bar chart are above the bars. Can you force a label on top of a bar chart in SQL Server Reporting Services? If so, how?
The issues are the colors are so dark, it's hard to read them if they are not above the bar in the chart. I could just change the colors, but I'd rather learn how to force the label location if possible.
I'd like all numbers to be above the bar, like over the blue bar below. I have over 100 different charts in my report, so the scale will vary greatly depending on the particular report.
Thank you!
In Visual Studio, design mode, ensure that the properties window is visible, then click on any of the labels on the chart.
At this point, the properties window should show the properties for Chart Series Label.
Find the 'Position' property, which probably is showing the value 'Auto', change this value to 'Top' and this should do the trick.
You have to first make sure the chart type is not stacked.
In my experience the "Position" property doesn't always work.
Sometimes you have to go to the properties of the series, then "Custom Attributes", then "Label Style" then select "Top".
What #niktrs said in the comments of the other answer about setting the AllowOutsidePlotArea property is also true.
Microsoft do not use the label Position property for some of the chart types.
They tell us what they use by default here - in your case "on bar charts labels are placed outside of the bars that represent data points" (they appear to mean "column charts")...but sometimes with a large value it's placed just inside, sometimes partially in-out (and if you try the "Outside" position it just fails to render!).
As #jayvee has mentioned the trick with Column charts is to select the value and change the SmartLabels AllowOutSidePlotArea to True (from Partial).
However if you have a Stacked Bar chart then labels are always in the centre of the particular value.
The hack to get labels on top is to add an extra Stacked Bar value with the Color set to "No Color" and move it to the top of the values (using the Chart Data designer arrows).
The trick is getting a good expression value to use - a constant ends up too big or too small at some point, so I found a percentage of the stacked values works best (remembering to change Nulls to Zeros)...25% to 30% usually works.
Then set the value Label to the value you want to display in the data label.
I just had this issue, I was able to fix it by making sure the chart series "Smart Labels" - "Disabled" property was set to "True"
This is what my properties pane looks like:

visibility expression in report builder with multiple hidden values

I have an image that i would like to hide based on a value. This value can have 3 possible returns. "AP02", "AP16", "" (blank). I want the image visible only if the value is "AP16"
Currently i am using this code:
=First(Fields!LastMPClientName.Value, "ClientSummary")="AP02"
The above works if the value is "AP02" however i am seeing more and more blank values for my clients.
How can i make this image hidden for both "AP02" and "" values?
I am using report builder 3.0 from a SQL 2008R2 instance.
Cant you use an OR?
=First(Fields!LastMPClientName.Value, "ClientSummary")="AP02" OR First(Fields!LastMPClientName.Value, "ClientSummary")=""

Gray Shade inside a Check Box in MS Access forms

I am working on an MS Access forms Application using VBA.
I have a form which has three check boxes and i am trying to add a new check box in the form. The Three check boxes , which are already present have the grey shade inside them.
What does it represent ? If any thing significant, how to acheive that .
I am linking my MS Access form objects with SQL Server
Please help on this ...
You can find some documentation here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa173460(v=office.11).aspx
That shading either means that a value has not been set, or that the "Triple State" property is set to True and the checkbox is displaying a null value (if "Triple State" is set to false, nulls display in the same manner as false - i.e., a clear checkbox).
