I am currently having trouble with designing a table that monitors if data in each row is within a targeted range either below or above the target. I currently have an embedded Icon that does appear on each row; however, they all appear the same. I want the appearance of each icon to change whether it is under or over the target. The data I do have is static though but I can change the values through numeric entries. How can I go about doing this?

Place a tagpath string in that column in your table's data that point's to the relevant value for that row. Then set that column to render as a view, and create a view that will accept a tag path in its `value` input parameter. Use indirect binding inside that view to retrieve the value and perform the comparisons and alter the selected icon.

I recommend a cell render view (columns....renderMode == view), not a subview.
