Name your style (change from default “Style1”
Set the default font/font size for your style
Click on Appearance
Set the default Forecolor and Backcolor if necessary.
Forecolor controls the text color.
Backcolor controls the “Fill” or Background color.
NOTE: If you use a Backcolor, be sure to uncheck the “Transparent” box or your Backcolor will not show.

Select a field on your report canvas
Navigate to the Properties tab
Under Appearance, select your conditional style from the drop-down menu.
Create your conditions in a logical order. The style from the first true condition will be applied to your field.
Why isn't my conditional style working? Any styling that was manually applied to your field(s) over-rides your conditional styling.
If your conditional styling isn't working, select your field and navigate to Properties > Inheritance. Remove any styling in the Element Attributes area.
Select Create Conditional Style
