Hi @Polite123 , do you have any specific condition for coloring the background or it is just for these values in the particular column?

I have prepared a mock workflow. Please let me know in case of any queries.

Thanks.

Hi @grazitti_sapna,

 

There are no specific conditions. I just want to highlight any cell in the output sheet.

How can we do that?

It was just for example I had given those values(5&2).

Can you please help?

 

When I am doing so with the help of render tool,it colours that entire row which is not needed

 

Thanks in advance:)

@Polite123 , Sure.

 

1) You need to add basic table tool to the input file.

2) Select the Column where the value lies then select column rule edit option. A pop dialog box will open then select A rule 1 and apply the config mentioned in the screenshot.

This will color the background of the value you specifically want.

 

I hope this helps. 

Thanks.
