I've added a formatting formula under \formatting formulas\report header\graph1\tool tip text

Here's what I have...

if DayOfWeek ({PWDCounter.ResetDate}) = 1 then crBold else crRegular

I keep getting the error "the formula result must be a string".

How do I go about getting the graph text to be bold if the day of the week is a weekend day ? I'd also like the text to appear red, but one thing at a time.

({PWDCounter.ResetDate}) is a date and time database value.

Thanks in advance,

OK new user error.

So I can't add 'new formatting formula' 'font color' to my graph. I will allow me to add other selection formula like 'background color'. But not 'font color' or 'font style'. No sure why.

Why cannot I not add a font style formatting formula to my graph ?

When using with background color is checks out ok.

Just to clarify.

On a traditional bar graph, with the X axis being the date. I would like the X axis text font to be bold and red if the day of the week is Saturday or Sunday.

 
I don't think this is possible even in CR 11.0. You might instead add a "key"--create a subreport that displays only the Saturday and Sunday dates for reference.
