    Hi @Artur Bogusławski ,

    From the data sample, the data you want mark color is used in the matrix.

    I don't think it's possible to meet the requirement from SSRS side.

    If you are using the table, we could easily meet your needs in background color with "=IIF(Fields!Column1.Value = Fields!Column2.Value,Nothing,"yellow")".

    With matrix data, it seems there is no method to solve the issue.

    You may need to change the framework of your report or abandon your needs.

    Regards，

    Zoe

    I'm snowed under :-(.
    But I try use Your proposition. At the moment I see problem with:

    "The BackgroundColor expression for the text box ‘ILOSCI’ refers to the field ‘Column1’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified dataset scope. Letters in the names of fields must use the correct case."

    SQL is very simle:

    SELECT DISTINCT
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.PRD_NUMER, (Main number)
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.PRD_NAZWA, (Main name)
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.PRD_KARTA, (Main card number)
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.PRD_ILOSC, (Main quantity)
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.SKL_NUMER, (Number ingredient)
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.SKL_NAZWA, (Name ingredient)
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.SKL_ILOSC AS ILOSCI, (Quantity ingredient)
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.DATA AS OKRES (Date)

    FROM
    dbo.REC_WERSJE
    WHERE
    dbo.REC_WERSJE.PRD_NUMER IN (@INDESK_REC)
