Title: Coloring a shape based on a ashape data field (dropdown menu)
Post by: AnotherNoOne on March 16, 2018, 09:00:24 AM
Hi everyone,

how can i color a shape based off shape data? I thought about using IF() to get the value of the shape data field and then set a custom RGB value per shape data value. However, i have no idea in wich field in the shapesheet i should do so..

Do i need to change FillForegnd or FillBkgnd? Or am i completely on the wrong path?

Important notice: the usage of data graphics is not possible for me.

Yes. You can!
You need use FillForegnd cell.
