Someone knows a similar hint for Filemaker?
Authored by: magir on Sep 02, '04 02:45:04PM

Nice think but as I don't do Excel and most of my "tables" are in Filemaker I was searching for something similar for ages. I tried several things and it's not that complicated to create colored background using formulars but somehow I never got the "alternating" thing work. :-(

Got a tip by mail - works like a charm :-)
Create 2 fields
xColor - Global - Container
Color - Calculation -
Case(Mod(Status(CurrentRecordNumber), 2) = 0, xColor)

set the xColor field to the color of your choice (in browse mode)

set the graphic format for the calculation field to enlarge without preserving the original proportions.

make sure the fields are tranparent and put the Color field under them so that it shows thru.
