how to change the background color of a particular column based on its column value?

vaishnavkoka

Here i just want to change the background color of age based on its value
for example: if the age is 28 the background color should "green" or if the age is 68 background color should be "yellow" and so on. condition is that the changes should reflect only age column-cell instead of complete row as you see in the pic

Hi @vaishnavkoka ,

Yep, easily done, look at the example here,

Cheers,

Colin

F12Magic

@colin That example adds a background color to the entire row. @vaishnavkoka requests to only change the cell background color.
Usage of columns.createdCell would be more appropriate I think in this case.
Here is Colin's example, edited to color a cell only.
