Applying Conditional Formatting to Specific Columns in Sisense Pivot2

Summary

Learn how to make all "Yes" values in a specific column of your Sisense pivot highlighted with a green background. The solution was tested on the L2024.2 Sisense version.

How to achieve it?

1. Access Your Dashboard:

   • Open your Sisense pivot in the edit mode -> click 3 dots menu -> Edit Widget Script.

2. Update the Widget Script:

   • Use this script to highlight "Yes" values:

   widget.transformPivot({ type: ['member', 'rows', 'value', 'grandtotal'] }, function (metadata, cell) {
       if (cell.value === 'N\\A' || cell.value === 'N//A' || cell.value === 'N\A' || cell.value === ' ' || cell.value === null || cell.value === undefined) {
           cell.value = '-';
           cell.content = '-';
       }
       if (cell.content === 'Yes' && metadata.colIndex === 7) {
           cell.style.backgroundColor = '#48ed42';
       }
   });

   • Adjust metadata.colIndex to match your target column (starting from 0).

3. Apply and Test:

   • Save the changes and refresh the dashboard.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Verify Column Index:

  • Ensure the column index is correct.

• Check for Errors:

  • Look for any syntax errors in the script.

• Test Before Deployment:

  • Test in a development environment first.

Following these steps, you can effectively apply conditional formatting to your Sisense dashboard.
