SSRS Color formatting of particular string - reporting-services

Question

I have a requirement to display select statement on SSRS report (UI). I want to display select, from and where in Bold and blue color. Field name = "Query" and below is a record
select field1, field2 from table1 where field1='test'
I tried both below font->expression of "Query" field, but it's not working.
=Replace("SELECT",Fields!Query.Value," `<span style='color:red'>` " & Fields!Query.Value & "`</span>`")
=Replace(Fields!Query.Value,"SELECT"," `<span style='color:red'>` " & Fields!Query.Value & "`</span>`")

Answer 1

The way I would do this is as follows
note: my column is called sql, not Query as it is in yours
Create a textbox (or edit your existing one)
Type SELECT then a [space]
Then right-click inside the text box to the right of what you just typed and choose Create placeholder
Set the value expression to be
=
MID(
Fields!sql.Value,
INSTR(Fields!sql.Value, "SELECT ", Compare:= Comparemethod.Text) + 7,
INSTR(Fields!sql.Value, "FROM", Compare:= Comparemethod.Text)
- (INSTR(Fields!sql.Value, "SELECT ", Compare:= Comparemethod.Text) + 8)
)
Now type a [space] and then 'FROM', add your next placeholder with the following expression.
=
MID(
Fields!sql.Value,
INSTR(Fields!sql.Value, "FROM ", Compare:= Comparemethod.Text) + 5,
INSTR(Fields!sql.Value, "WHERE", Compare:= Comparemethod.Text)
- (INSTR(Fields!sql.Value, "FROM ", Compare:= Comparemethod.Text) + 6)
)
finally type "WHERE " and the last placeholder, set the expression to...
=
MID(
Fields!sql.Value,
INSTR(Fields!sql.Value, "WHERE ", Compare:= Comparemethod.Text) + 6
)
You can now double-click the static words and format as you wish. You could do the same with each expression to as all placeholders have their own font properties.
The final design looks like this...
