is there any way I can display formula symbols in a static text on a gui?
Or is the only option to add a jpg?
Static text boxes don't support TeX/LateX formatting. You will need to use either the text or annotation functions (example here).

Is there a way to change the text in a dashboard based on a value?
At its most basic, I want to be able to plug in the word 'increased' or 'decreased' based on a change from year to year for a report.
If you mean the free-floating Text object from the same menu as vertical / horizonal containers, Blanks, etc. then you can only use parameters and a few "special" values like Workbook Name.
However, you can use a worksheet as a textbox instead. Just make sure you clear the default formatting (borders, etc.) and put your calculated field that resolves into "increased" / "decreased" on the Text mark. In the same way you can add up or down arrows using CHR() function and set custom colours (by creating two calculated fields that resolve into "increased" and "" and "decreased" and "")
So I am making a ms word template and was creating a custom style that would have a pre-determined text. Example is, after clicking the custom style, it would generate an auto text:
Fig.1. Insert text here
Would that be possible?
Best regards.
No, this is not possible. Static text cannot be part of a Word style. If you're numbering something, then you can include static text as part of the numbering definition, for example Figure + number. Link the numbering definition to a style and you'll get that text when applying the style. But everytime you apply the style the number will increment.
Otherwise, use BuildingBlocks/AutoText, formatted with the style, and insert that - which will automatically apply the style.
Originally my report is created in v5.2.0. My report also uses resource bundles file. When open in eclipse using ireport designer plugin v 5.2.0, it can show all - static text and text field.
But when I am using ireport designer v5.1.0. It shows nothing. like
Do I need to configure something in iReport Designer?? Am I missing something??
I have had this happen because of the size of the static text box in relation to the font size. If the Font size is too large, it will cause the text to wrap to the next line and out of the frame. I am guessing that different versions of iReport have different thresholds before the wrapping occurs.
What I ended up doing to verify this was to make the box bigger until the text appeared. Then I played with the Font size until it would fit in the size box I needed.
I would not worry about the display problem. When the report is generated all text should be shown. If not set the options "Print when detail overflows" and "Stretch with overflow". The latter option is only available within dynamic text fields.
In my case my XML formatter "helpfully" put a new line inside my CDATA['s!!
I can change the style of a cell using conditional formatting. But there I would be limited to a maximum of 3 cases it can handle.
What I want to do is to get the value of a cell, convert it in a certain way and set the result as the cells background-color.
The simplest example would be cells with values between 0 and 10, resulting in gray-steps between white and black.
Is this possible? Are there ways to set the background-color of a cell automatically?
Thx!
This has been implemented in libreoffice 3.6 (see the release notes)
Format one cell how you want (not one you want to conditionally format).
Press F11 to get the Styles dialogue box
Use the button one from the top right, which is "New Style From Selection"
Type the name you want, e.g. BlackBack
Then do the conditional formatting of the relevant cells, choosing BlackBack

Note that you can find "Conditional Formatting" under the Format menu in OOo Calc.
As Joey said: "As far as I can see conditional formatting in OOo cannot do that. Excel has no problems there, though."
It's simply not possible... :-/
The backstory: I am applying a filter to a TableView. It's a simple 'find the rows with this string' filter.
The requirement: I wish to hilight instances of the search term where they occur.
Thus far I can see no means of doing this. ITableColorProvider let's me apply colours to entire cells, but not to a fraction of it.
Clues most welcome.
Looks like the highlighting method is for you
Since 3.5M4, the existing owner draw support for JFace TableViewer and TreeViewer has been extended to allow multiple fonts within cells. For example, this can be used to highlight matching text in search results using a bold font.
