title: Directional indicators in SSRS 2008 R2
body: <p>I would be grateful if someone could advise, please.</p>
  
  <p>I have a simple table set up in SSRS 2008 R2. It gives me the number of processes completed, per month, so:</p>
  
  <p>Jan   200
  Feb   150
  March 250</p>
  
  <p>I have managed to set a simple indicator by each, which shows red if the value is &lt;200 and green if the value is >200.</p>
  
  <p>I would however like to put a directional indicator in that will give an up-arrow if the value is higher than the previous month's. So in the example above, next to Feb we would see a down arrow. Next to March we would see an up arrow.</p>
  
  <p>I have added an indicator to the table, then selected directional In indicator values, then values and states, I have deleted all but one of the arrow icons and tried to write an expression to get it to do what I want. But I have not succeeded.</p>
  
  <p>If you know of a way round this seemingly simple, yet puzzling, problem - please can you let me know?</p>
  
  <p>I hope I have explained it clearly. Please bear with me, as this is the first time I have posted on this site.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
