Output value based on a conditional count of other values

Hi,

 

I have a table that contains columns called Category, Sub-Category, Criteria and RAGB (Red, Amber, Green, Blue). RAGB is applied to the criteria and what I want to do is say that if there’s X Criteria with a RAGB of Red (within that Sub-Category) then output “Red”, if X with Amber output “Amber”, if X with Green output “Green” and finally when all the criteria are Blue output “Blue”. This will then be used to change the colour of the Sub-Category card on the report accordingly. I then want to do the same again but for the Sub-Categories to drive the colour of the Category card e.g. if X are Red output “Red” etc. etc. (again finishing with when they’re all Blue output “Blue” the same as for the criteria).

 

For clarity I have four different categories containing 8, 4, 11 & 8 sub-categories respectively (all with different names) and then each sub-category contains a different number of unique criteria.   

 

I’ve been scratching my head as to how to best achieve this (if at all!) can anyone suggest a solution please?

 

Many thanks.

    a bit hard to imagine what you want , may be you can show a part of your data and then just on a snapshot color it the way you want. let me know, i do lots of custom formatting and coloring on the reports.

      Thanks for the quick response and sorry the question wans't clear, does the below help? 

       

      In hindsignt I'm thinking it might be better to apply a weighting to each of the RAGB colours to drive the sub-category and category results from. E.g. if a sub-category scores 0-10 it's green, 11-20 it's amber over 20 it's red and then the same for the overall category? 

       

      The sub-category and category results are what I'm trying to generate from the data I have, I "think" I'm then ok with the report side using those values...
