BIRT: Alternating row Color in a table group

Patrick picture Patrick · Feb 23, 2009 · Viewed 24.1k times · Source

Has anybody an idea of how the highlighting condition has to look like, to create alternating rows in groups? I want the every row with an even number of a table group (not of the whole table) to have a different color.

Thanks in advance! :-)

P.S.: I'm using BIRT 2.1.3

Add a highlight to the row like this:

row[0] % 2 Equals 0

This works because row is the current row and row[0] is the rownumber. row[1], row[2] etc. are the data values for the current row.
