How Conditional Highlighting Can Help with Analysis

Conditional highlighting is used to direct a report viewer's attention to specific report results. For example, a report author might design a report on suppliers so that table cells that contain delivery times that are greater than 14 days are automatically highlighted with a red background. You can also add, modify, or delete conditional highlighting when you view a report. For example, you might want to highlight delivery times that are less than five days instead of greater than 14 days.
For tables, SAS Web Report Studio has a variety of options for highlighting results that meet the specified conditions. In Total Sales Values That Are Greater Than $130,000 Are Highlighted, total sales values that are greater than $130,000 are bold.The revenue values also could have been replaced by an image or by user-supplied text.

Graphs use shading as the highlighting method. In Shoes with Revenues That Are Between Three and Six Million Dollars Are Highlighted , shoe product groups with revenues that are between $3 million and $6 million are highlighted.

Note: Conditional highlighting is measure-based, so the table or graph must include at least one measure that can be used in the condition.
