The 2 questions "What are the options for displaying data in a data viewer?" and "A data viewer is best thought of as?" do not fit the video...

Martin, we'll try to get that fixed!

Good video. Another way I solved this is to have my sql query return a column with "Red","Yellow","Green" depending on the criteria and then using that value to determine the background color of a cell instead of the iif.

Presenter didn't appear to have walked through the example prior to recording -- rather choppy presentation.

You should show where to find the formatting codes. They are difficult to find!
