ImplementsThe Grid dashboard item allows you to apply conditional formatting to cells. The GridDashboardItem.FormatRules property provides access to a collection of the GridItemFormatRule objects that are used to define formatting settings.
To add a new format rule, create the GridItemFormatRule object and specify the following settings.
Finally, add the created format rule to the GridDashboardItem.FormatRules collection. You can use the DashboardItemFormatRule.Enabled property to specify whether the current format rule is enabled.
The Value format condition (FormatConditionValue) allows you to compare dimension/measure values with predefined static values.
This example demonstrates how to apply conditional formatting to Grid cells whose values are greater than, less than or between the specified values.
