Color cells based on multiple conditions

I have written the following code to color the cells based on condition.I need to add one more condition -

if weight is within -2% of Target then need to color cells yellow.How do I do this?

 

dt << New Column("color cells",
Formula(If(:Target> :weight, :weight << color cells("Red", Row()); .,
:weight << color cells("Green", Row()); .)),
Hide(1)
);

 

Thanks

Re: Color cells based on multiple conditions

If(
 :Target > :weight,
  :weight << color cells( "Red", Row() );
  .;,
 :weight < :Target + (.02 * Abs( :Target )) & :weight > :Target - (.02 *
 Abs( :Target )),
  :weight << color cells( "Yellow", Row() );
  .;,
 :weight << color cells( "Green", Row() );
 .;
);

Re: Color cells based on multiple conditions

Need to script a variation of this logic. I have data in 4 columns and need to compare the value in each cell with the Target value. Also I wouldnt know the column names before hand. How to do this? In simple words,need to compare values in column A,B,C and D with corresponding value in Target column and color code(Green,Yellow or Red) accordingly. 

TargetABCD
99%1%8%93%10%
52%55%62%22%19%
39%89%18%33%25.50%
16%11%92%10%2%

Re: Color cells based on multiple conditions

1. If you are going to be working in JSL, you need to take the time to read the Scripting Guide:    Help==>Books==>Scripting Guide

2. Below is a simple script that generates the coloring as you describedcoloring.PNG

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();

colNamesList = dt << get column names( string );

For( theRow = 1, theRow <= N Rows( dt ), theRow++,
	For( theCol = 2, theCol <= N Items( colNamesList ), theCol++,
		If(
			:Target[theRow] > Column( dt, colNamesList[theCol] )[theRow],
				Column( dt, colNamesList[theCol] ) << color cells( "Red", theRow );
				.;,
			Column( dt, colNamesList[theCol] )[theRow] < :Target[theRow] + (.02 *
			Abs( :Target[theRow] )) & Column( dt, colNamesList[theCol] )[theRow] >
			:Target[theRow] - (.02 * Abs( :Target[theRow] )),
				Column( dt, colNamesList[theCol] ) << color cells( "Yellow", theRow );
				.;,
			Column( dt, colNamesList[theCol] ) << color cells( "Green", theRow );
			.;
		)
	)
);
