Re: Formatting using Position() hack only works in Filler form, not in browser

Use count of preceding-sibling to work around this: count(preceding-sibling::d:SharePointListItem_RW) mod 2 = 1 should work since your secondary data source is a list.....

Formatting using Position() hack only works in Filler form, not in browser

I am modifying the list form for a list of teams, stored in SharePoint 365 (cloud.) The form also has a secondary connection to another list, and uses a Form Load rule to query that list and pull items related to the team. I then display the query results in a repeating table.

I wanted to implement alternate-row formatting (banding) to the repeating table, so I used the 'position() mod 2 = 1' tip found many places online.

What I notice is that the technique seems only to work when opening the form in the IP Filler app; when I use the form in the browser, a calculated control that I placed on each row to display the 'position()' value always returns '1', and all rows are the same color.

Is this a know bug or limit with SP 365, or perhaps a known, rookie mistake on my part? Is there any other possible way to dynamically apply that type of shading/banding to a repeating table?

Thanks in advance for your help!
