Home › Forums › eaDocX queries › Conditional formatting regarding dates
I want to use the conditional formatting feature with the following rules in order to print a document with collected requirements and mark all requirements which changed since the last version.
Profile setting for requirements with inline formatting, e.g. for attribute “last_Updated”
Rule type = Date
Condition = “after”
Value =
Replacement text =
Color = any, for example yellow
The result is not what I am expecting:
• Using condition “after” highlights no date in the generated document. (Same with condition “before”).
• Using condition “on or after” highlights every date, so also dates before the value (“on or before does the same)
Is this a known bug?
Just tested this, and it seems OK in my configuration.
Are you using this on a machine with USA date formats? Maybe it’s that ….
No US settings, but German date format (which I have to keep selected). :dry:
Yes, you were right. Switching my Windows 7 „Regional and Language Options“ to “English/UK” did the job.
Using “08/08/2013” instead of „08.08.2013“ marked the date with a color.
But unfortunally running in the UK-mode is not a useful option (having German customers).
(I observed also a problem when switching back. Also after closing the EA and re-generating the document showed me the English format of the “Last_Updated” date. I had to change/toggle the date once in the profile/requirement/conditional-formatting menu, to see the right date format in word.)
I know dealing with Microsoft internal date format can be a mess, but do you think there might be a fix in the future? Thanks.
That’s great – I have now reproduced your problem.
Fix is available in 3.3.10.3 which is now on the website.
I just added some code next to the comment which helpfully said ‘add code for non UK/USA date formats here..’ 🙂
