Hello,

I've a tabular data like below and I want to color the cells based on the following threshold.
0%-79% ==> Red
80%-99% ==> Yellow
100% ==> Green

I am applying below but without any success. I know that this is due to % symbol in the values.

<format type="color" field="Passed Rules">
<colorPalette type="list">[#FF9999,#FFE699,#C6E0B4]</colorPalette>
<scale type="threshold">80%,100%</scale>
</format>

So how can I apply colors over the cell?

Thanks in advance.

You can't use range expressions if your data is not numeric and the % sign breaks them, so you have to use an expression. Use this

<format type="color" field="Passed Rules">
  <colorPalette type="expression">case(tonumber(rtrim(value, "%"))>=100, "#C6E0B4",tonumber(rtrim(value, "%"))>80, "#FFE699",true(), "#FF9999")
  </colorPalette>
</format>

which effectively removes the % to calculate each range in the expression.
