Condition to test only enabled options?

  Ten options can be enabled or disabled by the user.

  If they are enabled their value will not be zero and needs to be tested against another variable.

  If their value is not zero and less than the tested value, then they would be included in the indicator otherwise they wouldn’t.

  I just want to set the backgroundcolor to something else if they are enabled and pass the test, but it needs to be only for the pool of options enabled

  My question is how to achieve this test? I’ve drawn a blank.

  Is it a complicated nested if statement? Any pointers greatly appreciated.

  Thanks

  Rob

  I’m thinking do the test on each variable and if it passes then add it to an array, once all ten have been tested check to see if the array is empty or not and set backgroundcolor accordingly.

  Would this work as no time to code it now.

  Thanks

  The array solution is good. You can test the minimal value of the array is ARRAYMIN.

  You can also do a simple addition of all values and test the result is above or below a minimal value?

  Thanks Nicolas, I’ve had a go but I’m clearly not creating the array properly.

  I want the indicator to check the condition for each bar and change the background colour accordingly.

  I’d be grateful if you could tell me what I’m doing wrong. Thanks.
