Creating Available Stock traffic lights - Color Formatting text AND text background Based on Cell Value in a table

[MaraMara]

In the column STOCK, I have a Calculated field that sometimes shows numbers or is blank, in those cases I don't need to format the value.

But when the Value is A B or C I need to color the text AND the background of the text
A: red / B: yellow / C : green

You can achieve this by doing the following:

Remove your STOCK field and add an HTML block that will act as the Stock column. Label the HTML Block as "STOCK".

Disable HTML editor in the HTML block advanced options tab.

Copy and paste the code below into the HTML block:

Replace the 7 instances of FIELDNAME below with the name of your STOCK Field.

You can adjust the color, background color, and padding in each statement below as needed.

 

<div id="mydiv[@field:ID]"> </div>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

if ("[@field:FIELDNAME]" == "A") {
document.getElementById("mydiv[@field:ID]").innerHTML ="<span style='color:white;background-color:red;padding:6px;'> [@field:FIELDNAME]</span>";

else if ("[@field:FIELDNAME]" == "B") {
document.getElementById("mydiv[@field:ID]").innerHTML ="<span style='color:black;background-color:yellow;padding:6px;'> [@field:FIELDNAME]</span>";

else if ("[@field:FIELDNAME]" == "C") {
document.getElementById("mydiv[@field:ID]").innerHTML ="<span style='color:white;background-color:green;padding:6px;'> [@field:FIELDNAME]</span>";

} else{
document.getElementById("mydiv[@field:ID]").innerHTML ="[@field:FIELDNAME]";

}

</SCRIPT>
