Change the colour of the underline in ssrs reports

Can you tell me a way to change the color of the underline property in SQL reports.

I have the following expression which does not work obviously: 

=Format(Color:"Blue", "Underline")
Solution

  • You can't specify the color of the underline on it's own in SSRS. The underline color would have the color of the FONT.

    You can use the BorderColor.Bottom property of a text box to set any color using a value (Red or a hex value #FF0000) or an expression: 

    =IIF(FIELDS.X.VALUE = "X", "Blue", "Red")

    Set the BorderStyle.Bottom to Solid (or anything but None) to make it visible.
