Hi,

I want a shape on a visual overview to change the color based on the value of a parameter.

In this case I want the shape to be colored orange (ff9900) when parameter 520 equals 1, and green (00ff00) if the value of 520 is different than 1.

I am trying this but with no success:

[sep;-$]<A>or<B>$A|ELEMENT:11. STP_KU_Foxcom_DTH_PL7611_35K -SW|Parameter:520|FillColor;!=1,#00ff00$B|ELEMENT:11. STP_KU_Foxcom_DTH_PL7611_35K -SW|Paramter:520|FillColor;=1,#ff9900

I assume I am missing something. Could you spot what that is?

Is there a better way to achieve what I intend?

Thank you for the help

Hi João,

I think you can accomplish this by making use of Basic conditional shape manipulation actions (ref. DM Help).

You should try the following shape data:

Element : 11. STP_KU_Foxcom_DTH_PL7611_35K -SW|
Parameter : 520|FillColor;=1,#ff9900;!=1,#00ff00
