matrix data area conditional formatting off max value

I have a matrix where i'm trying to have the report select the maximum value in the data area (not including the subtotals) and bold that value.

month day1 day2 day3 day4 total Jan 10 15 5 12 42 Feb 5 8 3 11 27 Total 15 23 8 23 69

I'm sure i will have to use the IIF function in conjunction with the InScope function.

However i'm unsure on how to isolate to the max value and make sure the Inscope function does not affect the totals.

any idea's are appreciated.

In your data column in the Font Weight expression try the following

IIf(Inscope("matrix1_Month") And InScope("matrix1_Day") ,IIf(Max(Fields!Day.Value),"Bold","Normal"),nothing) - I had a more complex Matrix but I was about to bold my column.

I hope this helps.

Well that definately got me closer, but I found it highlights all the values in bold except the subtotals. so we accomplished not affecting the subtotals.

here is a view of the actual result table and the expression I wrote.

IIf(Inscope("matrix1_MONTH_NAME") And InScope("matrix1_Day_of_week") ,IIf(Max(Fields!FACT_CUT_RELEASE_Count.Value),"Bold","Normal"),"Normal")

I think i may need to have a function that determines the max value and then have the Fields!FACT_CUT_RELEASE_Count.Value compared against that in the nested iif statement

Instead of using "......., IIf(Max(Fields!FACT_CUT_RELEASE_Count.Value),"Bold","Normal")," you need to specify the scope over which you are taking the maximum.

Try...

IIf(Inscope("matrix1_MONTH_NAME") And InScope("matrix1_Day_of_week") , IIf(Max(Fields!FACT_CUT_RELEASE_Count.Value,"matrix1_MONTH_NAME")=sum(Fields!FACT_CUT_RELEASE_Count.Value),"Bold","Normal"),"Normal")
