I use Squirrel SQL client to query my DB2 database. When I query one of the tables, I see some of the cells background are shown colored (teal). I am not sure why those cells can be shown in a teal color while other cells’ background are still in white. I did some research online and found multiple scenarios where the cells could be colored.
If the cells have multi-line texts.
If the cells have reached the maximum number of allowed characters.
If the cells are set as read-only.
Based on the above, I checked my table structure. All the colored cells have multi-line texts. None of them have reached the maximum allowed limit in number of characters. I right clicked in a colored cell and I am able to make it editable. Only match I could find is, all the colored cells have multi-line texts. Is there any other reasons that could cause the cells to be shown in a different color?
I did some more research in my table structure and got answer.
Squirrel shows colored cells only when they have multi-line texts in them.

Since conditional format does not allow setting borders, is it possible to create a script and border a row based on the color of a cell / row?
If so how?
I found similar scripts, but no scripts based on background color.
I need something to get started / push in the right direction....
You can use Range.getBackground() to get the background color from one cell, or Range.getBackgrounds() to get the background colors from multiple cells.
You can then use that information to set your desired borders, using Range.setBorder.
I have a user-designed report that I am trying to replicate in SSRS, the report has a table with a default border color (Gray).
I need to draw a black line through one column, this adds the effect of separating the columns that lead up to the final column.
The problem I have is that the black line is not consistent but looks "split up" by the grey border of the table(and its cells).
The control used is a Tablix.
The workaround we have is to make the whole report color black or gray, but I'm just asking this to see if there is a way to implement different colors in an aesthetic way.
You can fix it by removing thick border and adding a BLANK column where you want the thick line.
Make the width of the column as per your requirement and make the borders to none for these cells (of blank column added). You may play with your left and right cells (it can be done). also, You should make the Can grow and Can shrik to False and True respectively.
If you want complete dark line (as shown), you may get an exception on the last row of the border for this particular added column. You can create a Report variable and keep the totalRecordCount and use it in expression of down border. Hope it helps!
I've used alternate table row shading before (using the ::nth-child selector), but I noticed it can't get the job done when you have irregular table structure. I've come across one specific case for which I'd like to come up with a solution.
In the picture below, you can see that the rows are styled with ::nth-child(even) to give every other row a background color:
The problem here is that in some cases, the first column cell spans two rows, causing the rest of the cells in that "row" (which is really two rows) to appear disjointed or misaligned. The cells in the rows spanned by "Cole" should have the same background color as the first column's cell, because the following columns are all related to the first one. Is this achievable using strictly CSS?
I would just change the structure of the table, but the people entering this content are using a CMS with a built-in text editor, and they have no control over the format. I'd have to manually change every table on their site, which would be a huge undertaking (and it wouldn't account for future tables).
i have an ssrs 2008 R2 matrix with Accounts on Rows, Months on Columns and Sales in the data section. I need to “double underline” the sales numbers but I can’t figure out how to do this.
i tried using “double border” but that would create one giant line across instead of just underlining the sales numbers - in other words, the display would be a single long line across.
any idea how to achieve this? i am willing to use custom code in the report code. Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: Adding a screen shot to show the desired output:
For some reason the Double text box BorderStyle property seems to be rather temperamental.
This MSDN thread suggests a few requirements to get this running:
Double Line border turn to be single in Reporting Service
The border width must be 3pt at least.
There must be at least one row beneath the Double border text box.
Let's test this out. A simple tablix:
And let's set the bottom text box to be Double at the bottom:
In Preview this is unsuccessful:
Let's test out the suggestions. First, set the width to 3pt:
Same result:
Let's add an extra row below:
It works:
What's going on here? It seems like if the width is too low, the two lines will squash together. Also, it seems like the border actually spills to an adjacent text box, so if this doesn't exist the bottom line is not displayed.
Put them together and it works.
One more note - this is not required for Excel - just add a 1pt Double border and it will be fine. The above series of steps are only required for Web, PDF, etc.
For certain project I want to create a configuration like shown below in image in HTML.
This is a circular ring (bounded by two circles) divided into 10 equal cells and each cell have different color (out of 10 different colors) . Each cell also has a digit (0-9) corresponds to it and placement of digits is fixed (for example: top cell with black color has digit '0' and next cell has digit '1' in clock wise direction). The color of each cell have to change dynamically (on each session) and all cells have unique colors out of 10 different colors. I want to write HTML code for it.
My approach is :
first I draw two circles and divide into 10 equal cells using line geometry. but problem is how to fill color in each cell !!
Any suggestions !!! Please give me HTML code or correct approach to do this.
there is a plugin called Set Text on a Circle , it may be useful for you , try it here http://css-tricks.com/set-text-on-a-circle/
