I'm trying to parametrically control the color of rooms in a floor plan.  ie, if a room is over 2000' it shows up one color and if it is under 2000' it shows up another. 
my first stab at this is to create a custom parameter (type integer or number) in the schedule and then create a conditional formula. right now it's:
=IF (Area < 2000', 1, 2)
then I would link the color palette to respond to this parameter. but when I enter the formula I get a warning message that reads "The following string is not recognized: Area.  Formulas cannot refer to other parameters.  Only constant expressions are supported".
do schedules not handle formulas at all? 
I'm using revit 9.1...

just found out a really simple work around:

 

set the color fill to respond to area, then instead of a value have a range.  set the range at the target size (in my case, 2000' ) .

 

works like a charm.
