# Conditional formatting types

You can apply several conditional formatting types in your Analyzer report.

| Indicator Type | Description                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Color scale    | The background cell color will be shaded according to the value of the cell relative to the highest and lowest recorded values in that measure. There are several color progressions to choose from. |
| Data bar       | The cell background is partially filled with a solid color proportional to the scale of the cell's value relative to the highest and lowest recorded values in that measure.                         |
| Trend arrow    | An upward or downward arrow is displayed to the right of the cell value depending on whether it contains a positive or negative value.                                                               |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/pentaho-analyzer-cp/advanced-topics/applying-conditional-formatting-to-measures-pentaho-analyzer/conditional-formatting-types.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
