JMP Report Table Cell Coloring

ErraticAttack — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 03:06:59 GMT

Does anyone know if there is an option in JMP Pro 17.2 to make the report from a data table highlight the same way as was done in JMP14?

Here is an image that shows JMP14 on the left, and JMP17 on the right -- selecting rows in the table on JMP17 obscures any cell coloring that the report had.

desired behavior from JMP14 (left) and incorrect behavior from JMP17 (right):

Here's the script I used:

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
dt:NAME << Color Cells( "Orange", 3 );
jmp_report = New Window( "Big Class",
	<<show menu( 0 ),
	<<show toolbar( 0 ),
	Text Box( "Big Class" ),
	H List Box(
		Outline Box( "Big Class", dt << Get As Report ),
		Outline Box( "Big Class", dt << Get As Report )
	), 

);

I hope I'm missing something, but I fear that it's just how JMP operates now.

I have replicated your findings in JMP 14 and JMP `17. JMP 18 has the same result as JMP 17.

Thanks for checking on JMP18 -- I was wondering about it. I need to see if I can request this feature in the next dot version of JMP18

I don't think it's a big problem. When I use JMP 17.2 and highlight a cell in my dataset, the color doesn't change according to my selection.

You're using a data table box -- not a data table report.
