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.
Set 1st Condition
Navigate to the Outline tab.
Right-click on your style.
Double-click on NO CONDITION SET
In the Expression Editor, enter your 1st condition.
Set Style for 1st Condition
Select the condition under your style in the Outline
Navigate to Properties Tab

Repeat for 2nd, 3rd, 4th Condition, etc.
Right-click on your style.
Select Create Conditional Style
Double-click on NO CONDITION SET
In the Expression Editor, enter your 1st condition.
Select the condition under your style in the Outline

Apply the Conditional Style to Your Field
Select a field on your report canvas
Navigate to the Properties tab
Under Appearance, select your conditional style from the drop-down menu.
TIP
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.
