PS: I put "May be" but you can change to "maybe" if you want in the Table Tool configuration rules.

Hello @Thableaus 

Thank you so much for the quick Solution. It worked.

I have one more condition to apply, that is - if any cell contains few words then there should be different color. 

Could you please help me on this as well.

Rajeev

I've build a little further on @Thableaus solution to create the multiple words colour conditioning:

Hi @Rajeev18,

 

You cannot colour cells in excel using an alteryx workflow as the cell colour conditioning is calculated from within excel locally. It would need to be exported as a PDF or image through the reporting tools.

 

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know!

 

Regards,

Jonathan
