Hi,  I want to compare the values in 2 different fields in conditional formatting.  But they are both text fields and I want to ignore the case of the fields ie

YES=yes=Yes......etc.  Is this possible or do I have to resort to code

Thanks

If you are comparing in code, you should already know how to due this by converting both strings to lowercase.

In rules, you can do the samething with the XPath translate() function:

translate(my:field1, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz") = translate(my:field2, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")

Thank you - I had never used the translate function before

The safest way is to do it in code, as that can handle extended (foreign) characters. However, if you have those, you can also add them to the string in the translate() function.
