title: SSRS Field Expression to change the background color of the Cell
body: <p>I'm trying to write a field expression for a Cell in my report where I have to change the background color of the cell depending on the string value in the cell. Ex: if the column has a value 'Approved' in it, the cell should show a green background color. I tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>= IIF(fields!column.value = "Approved", "Green")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>= IIF(Fields!column.Value, "Approved", "Green")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Neither works.. I know i'm missing something in the syntax.. Probably I'm not refering green to the back ground color in the syntax. Please help!</p>
