Color Cells With Missing Value and Greater Than Value

rmiyasato

Hello Forum!

 

I want to color cells in columns that start with "Diff" that has a value greater than .1 OR has a missing value (.) The number of columns that start with "Diff" will grow as the data set grows. Here's what I have so far but probably won't work in the long run as the # or columns grow.

 

Names Default to Here(1);

dt=current data table();

dt:Diff T00 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T00 >= .1));
dt:Diff T01 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T01 >= .1));
dt:Diff T02 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T02 >= .1));
dt:Diff T03 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T03 >= .1));
dt:Diff T04 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T04 >= .1));
dt:Diff T05 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T05 >= .1));
dt:Diff T06 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T06 >= .1));
dt:Diff T07 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T07 >= .1));
dt:Diff T08 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T08 >= .1));
dt:Diff T09 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T09 >= .1));
dt:Diff T10 << color cells("Red", dt<<get rows where(dt:Diff T10 >= .1));

There were 2 errors.....

1. I reversed the logic of the If() function I had specified....I had "!=" and it needs to be "==".

2. The colNames references in the color cells() had to reference the specific column....my error too

I have also cleaned up your code a bit......nothing major,
