I cannot seem to get the reports keychains to work properly.

I have a simple table with multiple columns using the header , data, and summary

I want to change each data cells color either fill or text based on its value.

I have in column 3 a data key.  
The value populates fine  
I then have dynamic key in the text color that is

Data\_key\>50?"red":"black"

Where data key is the value

The text does not change colors and the values in the column are all greater then 50

Please help

I have looked and read the keychain expressions guide.

Hi Brian,

If you copy and paste from the text you posted the above:

But replace only the portion right of the ?, it should work.
