Get(PortalRowNumber)

[David Jondreau]

Has anyone tried using Get(PortalRowNumber) in a Conditional Formatting calculation? I'm using a text box to fill the same color as the background if it's not the first portal row.

The formula

Get(PortalRowNumber) > 1

does not work.

The formula

items|TRANSACTIONS::_p Transaction ID ≠ GetNthRecord(items|TRANSACTIONS::_p Transaction ID;1)

does.

ITEMS is the table for the layout and items|TRANSACTIONS the related table. The second formula does the job, but is not as pretty as the first.

Can anyone confirm that Get(PortalRowNumber) doesn't work with Conditional Formatting? And know why not?

I am assuming that it is because of the context that the function is evaluated.

Get(PortalRowNumber) returns the portal row number when it has become active.
