Hi,

I wish to change the background color when a duplicate based on two columns values is created.
I have tried the following but no success.

=NPANXX(Count(Fields!NPA.Value & Fields!NNX.Value, "NPANNX") >1, "LightBlue")

Thanks!

I think you need to use rowNumber function for this.
Something like

IIF(RowNumber("YourGroupName") > 1 ,"LightBlue","Whatever color you want")

Hi Visakh16,
Thanks for helping me with this.

I have a question. Am I okay when creating the Group(NPANNX) to write the expression =Fields!NPA.Value+Fields!NPA.Value

When I write for the background properties your suggestion:
IIF(RowNumber("NPANNX") > 1 ,"LightBlue","Transparent")

It highlights all the rows except the first one.

Thanks

What according to you are duplicates?

Let's say I have a table as follow:

NPA|NNX|Cie|remarks|
418|220|abc|pending|
418|220|abc|completed|
418|222|abc|open|
418|223|def|closed|

I wish to see the duplicates based on the combination of NPA and NNX.
In my example, the NPA 418 and NNX 220 are in blue.

Thanks!

Hi,
I got it to work using the following expression:

=Switch(Count(Fields!NPA.Value+"-"+Fields!NNX.Value, "NPANNXID") > 1, "LightBlue", Count(Fields!NPA.Value+"-"+Fields!NNX.Value, "NPANNXID") = 1 , "Transparent")

Thanks!
