Styling a portion of a formula

I have tried this without success so far.  Is there a way to Style  'Files' only bit  in this formula.  Files is a formula given the number of attachments for this record.

The Files formula is:  cnt(files(this))

Formula I am trying to Styl only Files (field)

 

styled(" Attached Files: " + Files, " ", " ", " ") + " ➡️  " + BUILDING.'BUILDING NAME' + " " + 'ROOM NUMBER/LOCATION' + " " + BUILDING.'BUILDING LOCATION'

    I am aware that the "" contain nothing here - I want to colour RED but have been unable to so far.

    I’m guessing using HTML you can. But one of our HTML wizards would have to respond.

       Alan Cooke Like Fred said, you could use html with CSS styling to do so:

      html("<div> Attached files: <span style='background-color:red;color:white;'> " + Files + "</span> ➡️" + BUILDING.'BUILDING NAME' + " " + 'ROOM NUMBER/LOCATION' + " " + BUILDING.'BUILDING LOCATION' + "</div>")

      (I hope I didn't forget any double quotes here)

      RoSoft_Steven Worked a charm with a small tweak to get '0' red

      RoSoft_Steven Hi:  I am trying to use this neat styling to tweak other 'banner' formulae.  I cannot get this one to work - can you assist please?

      if PROTOCOL then
          'SELECT BUILDING, ROOM & DESCRIPTION'.BUILDING.'BUILDING NAME' + " " + 'ROOM NUMBER' + " - " + 'SELECT MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER'.MANUFACTURER + " " + MODEL + html("<div> <span style='background-color:;color:red;'> + [" + PROTOCOL + "]</span></div>")

      I want the [ PROTOCOL] all in red.  As it is now there is no change in color.

    maybe change this in your last line code:
    html("<div> <span style='color:red;'>[" + text(PROTOCOL) + "]</span></div>")

      RoSoft_Steven After a good 20 minutes I got it!

      html("<div> <span style='background-color:;color:green;'> PROTOCOL: " + PROTOCOL + "</span> ➡️" + 'SELECT BUILDING, ROOM & DESCRIPTION'.BUILDING.'BUILDING NAME' + " " + 'ROOM NUMBER' + " - " + 'SELECT MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER'.MANUFACTURER + " " + MODEL + "</div>").

      However I now have this issue when using an if/then when no Protocol is set.  I tried it the other way around if Protocol vs if Not.... same issue.  Can you figure out the issue?

      Alan Cooke Figured it out!!

      So for anyone here wanting to use HTML to style here is a chain of posts that lead to a solution

      if PROTOCOL then
          html("<div> <span style='background-color:;color:green;'> PROTOCOL: " + PROTOCOL + "</span> ➡️" + 'SELECT BUILDING, ROOM & DESCRIPTION'.BUILDING.'BUILDING NAME' + " " + 'ROOM NUMBER' + " - " + 'SELECT MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER'.MANUFACTURER + " " + MODEL + "</div>")
      else
          html("<div> <span style='background-color:;color:;'> </span> " + 'SELECT BUILDING, ROOM & DESCRIPTION'.BUILDING.'BUILDING NAME' + " " + 'ROOM NUMBER' + " - " + 'SELECT MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER'.MANUFACTURER + " " + MODEL + "</div>")
      end

      Alan Cooke 👍🏽 

      Ninox does not like if statements with two different type of responses. The “then” was a text response and the “else” was html. You fixed it by making both html.

      Fred I figured that could be the reason hence my mod.
