Render Variable: - Specify a variable based on which object can be conditionally rendered.
Style Variable: - Specify a variable based on which object can be conditionally styled.
Example for Style Variable
In a report in a list if u want to display every alternate row with particular color
in this case
1) create a data item with name running-count with function "running-count" on particular unique column
2) now create one more data item as mod with functon "mod" on that running-count data item
3)create a boolean varibale with expression mod 1
4)go to the page select List column Body style
5)In properties pane select Style Variable as boolean variable
6)click on YES variable and set its Foreground color as RED
7)click on No variable and set its Foreground color as Yellow
now run the report
Example for Render Variable
if the case is like you want to see the particular page in HTML or PDF or CSV format then
1)Create 3 pages in your report
2)every page conatins some specific data
3)name these pages as HTML PDF CSV
4)create a String vaiable with 3 values as HTML PDF and CSV
5)now in string variable put expression as .....
case
when ReportOutput() 'HTML' then 'HTML'
when ReportOutput() 'PDF' then 'PDF'
when ReportOutput() 'CSV' then 'CSV'
end
6)now go the page named HTML and select page object
7)in properties pane click on Render Variable select that string variable
8)check only HTML check box value for HTML page
9)repeat step No. 6 to step No.8 for remaining 2 pages.

When you hide an object, the
object exists but is transparent. If an object is not
rendered, it is not in the report.

Answer / the_xxx
Render variable is used to conditionally hide particular
part of the report like column, Summary, footer, header
e.t.c. By using Style variable also we can achieve this, By
setting the property Box Type to 'None' for a particular
part of the report after selecting a condition variable (
Boolean or String) as Style variable. And we can perform
conditional formatting by using Style variable for Report
columns and this cannot be achieved by using Render
variable. For both Render and Style variable we have to
define and use either Boolean variable or String variable in
Conditional Explorer. I hope you understand the difference.
