Hello all,  
In perspective tables, there’s a row attribute which allows for highlighting. Is there anything that’ll do the same for columns (or at least allow a color to be applied to them in some way)?

Thanks in advance!

If you’re on v8.1.11, there is a property to style columns. If you’re on previous versions, you can add a script transform and add a style in your dataset.
