Excellent video

The 2 questions "What are the options for displaying data in a data viewer?" and "A data viewer is best thought of as?" do not fit the video...

Martin, we'll try to get that fixed!

Awesome!!

Good video. Another way I solved this is to have my sql query return a column with "Red","Yellow","Green" depending on the criteria and then using that value to determine the background color of a cell instead of the iif.

Presenter didn't appear to have walked through the example prior to recording -- rather choppy presentation.

You should show where to find the formatting codes. They are difficult to find!

what version of reporting services was he using in the presentation? It does not look like the version we use (2008) - is it 2005 or 2008R2?
