Power Table Cell Colour

As for per-cell configuration like Excel does with cell formatting, you’ll need to:

  1. Make some kind of interface for color selection/font/etc - whatever attributes you (are able to) and want to customize about cell rendering.
    See this thread: Designer Color Chooser vs Runtime Color Chooser
    for an example of a power-table based color picker that you could use.
  2. Store the user’s preferences, deciding how to do so. Most likely, you’ll need to keep a second dataset with matching row/column counts as a custom property somewhere, and store the cell-specific information in each cell.
  3. In configureCell, as @Sanderd17 mentioned, you’ll need to actually retrieve the cell rendering information, parse it in some way, and then apply it to each individual cell.

All in all, this is a pretty significant amount of work; it’s doable, but would require a lot of effort. There’s also many aspects of power tables that basically can’t be customized (per-cell borders, for instance) without a great degree of effort.
