Hi,

By using Version key in a report, I added an alternative row “T3”, then set ItemGroup==“T3”? “T3”,“Standard” as Version key. The whole row’s background change to orange color. However, I only want the cell with T3 in the column of ItemGroup to change to orange color.

What should I modify? \_\_\_\_\_ ItemGroup==“T3”? “T3”,“Standard”\_\_\_\_\_

Thanks in advance

Instead of selecting the whole row just select the column for which you want to have the color change and apply it in the _stroke and fill_ section in _properties_ tab of the column.

I hope this picture might give you an idea.
