I have a cross tab similar to the following example. The field in my header is {alphabet} and alphabet includes A,B,C and D. The {count}values in my crosstab are 2,10,20 and 15 respectivly for A,B,C and D.
A B C D
2 10 20 15
I would like to be able to format the {count}values in my crosstab based on the value itself (which i know how to do) but also on the value of the {alphabet} header.
For example if {alphabet}="A" and gridvalue<10 color equals red. and if {alphabet}="B" and gridvalue<5 color equals blue.
I know how to set the colors based on the gridvalue. I am not sure how to appropriately reference the value of the crosstab header {alphabet} and make the formatting based on the two values.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Exploring GridRowColumnValue ultimately led me to a perfect example of what I was seeking.
GridRowColumnValue (groupAlias, (optional) row/columnIndex)
I did have some problem trying to determine what to use as the groupalias for the column but i found that on the Cross Tab Expert-Customize Style Tab under "Alias for formulas"
Thanks for the help
