Can I add colors to words populated by a formula in Dashpivot Web?

Learn if and how formula-generated text can be colour coded in Dashpivot Web.

Written by Nina Yang

Formulas in Dashpivot Web can calculate and display values dynamically within forms. However, styling options for formula outputs are limited.

Direct Answer

No, not at the moment. Formulas in Dashpivot Web cannot apply colours or conditional formatting to calculated text outputs.

Limitations or Alternatives

  • Formula fields can only return values or text, not styling or formatting.

  • You can use dropdown list fields with colour options to visually distinguish information manually.

  • You can reference the selected dropdown value in a formula, but you cannot change the colour of the formula field or its background dynamically.
