PowerPlay Web can automatically highlight exceptional values within new data. Exceptions stand out in a report or crosstab and call attention to their values.
PowerPlay Web considers a value exceptional if it is significantly higher or lower than the value expected compared to its row and column totals. By default, automatic highlighting shows low values in a bold, red font and high values in a bold, green font.
For example, in the crosstab display below, the revenues for Camping Equipment in 2005 were higher than expected based on its row and column totals, and so the value was highlighted in green. On the other hand, the revenues for Camping Equipment products in Q1 of 2005 were lower than expected, and highlighted in red.
With Web browsers that support cascading style sheets, you may see another font or color for automatic exception highlighting if your PowerPlay administrator has specified different fonts or colors.
In the Enhanced interface, the Exception Highlighting button is not on the PowerPlay Web toolbar by default. To add the Exception Highlighting button to the PowerPlay Web toolbar, contact your administrator.
