Multiple Conditional Formatting

In schedule conditional formatting, we should be able to use multiple conditions using the same field. (i.e. 0 fc = red, 1-20 fc = yellow, etc.) Currently to have multiple rules, you have to reference different fields.

Same issue reported by German customer, Raimund Herbst at Dipl.Ing Denis Fink.

Would be useful to apply multiple conditions and format a schedule cell in multiple colours. For example, if a value is greater than Parameter A, make it Red OR if it is less than Parameter B, make it Orange.

That will be very usefull.

This would be great. It would also be nice to easily apply a conditional format across a row instead of having to set the same conditional formatting for each column.

Would be very useful. Voted up!

Would be great to be able to use a View template on a schedule with rule based Filters stored to conditionally format consistently with a view.

If conditional formatting allowed for formulas that would be extremely useful. I.E. I have a window that needs that I want to meet egress. The window has to be 5.7 sq ft. The formula would be something along these lines:

(Height x Width) >= 5.7, Choose specified color if not. 

or something like: 

or Family Type, "red" if Length< 48 , or Width < 36". 

basically using similar formulas that are available in excel or the Revit family editor; primarily, logic statements; if, and, or, etc...

Multiple conditional formatting would be useful. Is this in the works?

In my case, I am trying to color code departments in a Revit room schedule to match the color scheme used in corresponding room area plans. Have not found another way to do this. Maybe there is another way.

This would be useful in MEP as well. If something is 'approaching critical' make it yellow, if it 'is critical' make it Red.

I have also come across this limitation. Would be so amazing if we could have multiple coditions formated based on data in the schedule cell, even up to 10! Bummer.:cara_sin_expresión:

To me it's weird that this feature isn't in Revit. It kind of looks like they started writing the feature, tested if it workes with 1 condition, and never got back to it to finish it.

And comeon.. You don't have to implement Excel into Revit, but make it at least decent.. The software is pretty expensive, but not even close to polished yet..

does this feature exist yet? 

why is it not possible to add formula's in here? 

can it be done with dynamo at least? 

the amount of times revit is missing basic functionality is infuriating!

 

Technically speaking the "multi function" feature has been implemented (I work in Revit 2020.2), but looking at it from any other side, it is incomplete. I don't know when it was added; I accidentally stumbled on how it works.

When done setting up the condition, you can change the field (red arrow), set the test and value, and it is added to the "conditions to use" list. 
This feature cannot compare cells nor fields with each other, and you can "test" every field only once. A minimalistic feature, but it is something.

It needs an if/then statement. If this then green cell, if that then red cell

We need more formatting and table manipulation options please.

My documentation is hampered by the Native Revit table formatting options

How is this still not a thing?  Even the wording in the conditional formatting dialogue indicates that you should be able to have multiple conditions... come on dev team, this must surely be an easy win??  :cara_que_ríe_con_la_boca_abierta_y_los_ojos_sonrientes:

YES! Make this happen! Nice if you could use colorschemes too

It is crazy how in Revit 2022, you can't still add multiple conditions to highlight different elements in the schedules. I have multiple room types that need to be color coded according to the floor plan color scheme and is not possible.

Exactly, I would like to do the same. For example, if the area is between 120-145m2 show it in red, if it is between 145-165ms in orange and so on. 2022-05-17 17_54_18-Yammer - Revit Kennisdelen.png

Why so impatient everyone? It's only been six years. Writing software is hard and Autodesk has limited resources and money ... actually no, wait, they are a huge software company with high profit.

 

But seriously, I don't think they should fiddle with these conditional behaviour systems one at a time. I hope they are working quietly to bring one unified system to the many parts of Revit where some conditions are possible. The Filter system for "Filters" is pretty good. But it's a different one for Conditional Formatting, and other possibilities in Calculated Formulas. A unified system would be great.

update for Revit 2023/24? please

Let this be the next update.

@Zsolt.Varga Any update on this? This feature would be a big help to the vast majority of Revit users. 

Any update? Is this on any roadmap for the future and if so ETA?

It's a shame this never got introduced into Revit. Such a handle little feature!

I tried to do this back in 2007 for a school project.

 

Just installed 2024 and still not available. How is this not a thing?

Here was my work around for a quasi if/then statement. I shade the column "green" to start. (if). Then my test turns my condition to "red" and this overrides.
