Introduction

Illustrations used in this article are from OnePager Pro using data from Microsoft Project but the feature's function, controls, and manual edits apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, and Oracle Primavera P6.

Overview

The overall capability of OnePager's Conditional Formatting Rules feature is explained in detail at: Conditional Formatting Overview

Further, the reconfiguration of the Conditional Formatting Rules form and the procedure for adding rules to the Conditional Formatting Rules form are covered in the first two sub-sections in the article at: Adding Conditional Formatting Rules

The purpose of this article is to focus on conditional formatting involving Microsoft Project Boolean fields (e.g., Flag1 through Flag20, etc.) whose field values are confined to Yes or No, or alternatively, 1 or 0.

Example

Microsoft Project Source Plan

As an example, suppose we have the Microsoft Project source plan shown below which consists of three phases and four resources consisting of Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, and Team 4.

P70-11 5 1-70-(1)-09252019.png

In the Microsoft Project source plan above, the field titled Team Available is actually Flag1.

Unformatted OnePager Pro Chart

Creating a simple chart without Conditional Formatting rules produces this:

P70-11 5 1-(2)-06092020.png

Now suppose you want to represent any team that is Available (with Flag1=Yes), regardless of the team name with a different task bar shape.

Proposed Conditional Formatting Rule

This can be done by creating the following Conditional Formatting Rule by accessing the Chart Properties form at its Task Bars tab and clicking the Manage Rule... button at the bottom of the form to access the Conditional Formatting Rules form filled out as shown below:

P71-11 5 1-71-(3)-01072022.png

Chart With Conditional Formatting Rule Applied

When the Conditional Formatting Rules are in place and the chart is created it looks like this:

P70-11 5 1-(4)-06092020.png

OnePager applies the Conditional Formatting Rule created through the Conditional Formatting Rules form, adjusts the Legend’s Title, and provides a Legend Item to reflect the rule applied. You can manually change the legend title text and legend item text as required.

For more information on editing the Legend Title and/or Legend Items, please see the article at: Legend Editing Controls for OnePager

Updating the Microsoft Project Source Plan

Should you later go back and change the Flag1 field data in the Microsoft Project source plan, the next snapshot reflects the change by continuing to apply the rule. Suppose that the situation has changed in terms of Team Available as shown below:

P70-11 5 1-70-(5)-09252019.png

Second Snapshot Using the Updated Microsoft Project Source Plan

You can now create another snapshot the normal way and the chart now looks like this:

P70-11 5 1-(6)-06092020.png

Note that the task bar shapes with the new shape configurations are all associated with Teams that are now available. OnePager retains the color associated with Teams for the new task bar shape since the Color Action column in the Conditional Formatting rule is not involved in rule.
