How do I colour fields in specific rows based on a value in another column?

Hi,

 

If I have understood it correctly I need to add Render tool- if I want to achieve the same format/design in an Excel-output file corresponding to the table tool in Alteryx? But I am already struggling with getting the right conditional formula of colouring fields based on a value in defined column using Table tool.

E.g. if Column: [Check A-B]= "X" then fields in the same row but [Column A] & [Column B] should appear in the table with background color red.

 

Thanks in advance!

BR

Sandra

Hi @SandraStafverfeldt 

 

Input data:

So here we will color column D and E based on column Check D-E

 

This how you do it. You need to add a Table tool like below.

In table tool config select the column one by one which needs to colored. In this case its column D and E.

Once you select column rule create gets enabled like below. Click on create

Set the rule to color D and E when Check D-E is X like below.

You need a Browse tool to view the temp output.

You need a render tool to output this formatted table to excel.

 

Like below.
