Insert a slash in the cell according to the condition

1. Problem description

When designing a report, you can insert a slash through the insert slash function of the menu bar, as shown in the following figure:

However, how to insert the slash only when certain conditions are met?

2. Solutions

1) Scheme 1: Enter a slash in the cell, save the report and preview it, use the browser's Developer Tools and locate the slash to find that it is actually a image. As shown below:

Then add a Conditional Formatting> New, set the new value to HTML code, and then use HTML to display the cell content.

2) Scheme 2: You can do the opposite. First insert a slash in the cell, set the display data when the condition is not met, and then display the slash directly when the condition is met.

1. Prepare data

Create a new general report, create a new database query ds1, the SQL query statement is: SELECT EMPNAME, POLITICAL, SEX, ORIGIN FROM EMPLOYEE_COPY.

2. Design report

Drag the data column into the cell, and design the report style as shown in the figure below:

3. Scheme 1

1) Copy HTML

Insert a slash in any cell, save the report and preview it, use the browser's Developer Tools, locate the slash, right-click the code, and select Copy>Copy outerHTML. As shown below:

You can also directly copy the code shown below:

<img style="border:0;width:72px;height:17px;" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAA ANSUhEUgAAAEgAAAARCAYAAAB+bOp4AAABg
