How to: Draw Columns in an Exported Document

• Dec 17, 2020

This example conditionally applies a style to company names in an exported document based on the number of products. Company names are painted in ‘green’ if the product count is greater than 1,000. Otherwise, the company names are painted in ‘red’.
