Question : MS Reporting Services - Matrix Subtotal expression?

Hello,

I have an subtotal at the bottom of a matrix associated with a row group. How can I change the color of the background in the subtotal based of the value that subtotalled inside it without changing the background of another cell in the detail area if the value there matched the same criteria. I tried putting an expression in the detail, and it changes the color in both the detail AND subtotal....I only want to affect the subtotal...

I also tried changing the expression for the background color of the whole row that's created when I added the subtotal

thanks in advance!

Hi,

In matrixes, the subtotals ARE seperate from the detail cell, but they appear in VS as one.

You just need to make sure that you select the subtotal cell correctly.  

Best way to do this is to open the properties window and pin it open.
* Select the cell in the matrix, and you'll see in the properties window that the name is a textbox
* Move the mouse pointer to the top right hand corner of the cell and click the green triangle
* In the properties window the name should say Subtotal or something similar
* Make the changes to the background colour using the Expression option to select the colour based upon the subtotal value
