1. Go back to the Designer.

   2. In Item Style, write the following code:

{case
    
    
    when Category = 'Box' then '#65FFFF'
    
    
    when Category = 'Pen' then RGB(204,204,255)
    
    
    when Category = 'Paper' then 'GREEN'
    
    
    when Category = 'Larger items' then '#EEA7F6'
    
    
    else '' 

end}

1. Run the application in diagnostic mode again.
