I have a table in Ignition Vision that displays process data. I want to highlight cells in this table that are outside of our optimal process range. What is the easiest way to do this? I noticed the "Background Color Mapping" function, but I have a few problems with this: - This highlights the entire row instead of one cell - Only integer values can be selected - Only one column can be used to control color mapping ---

Use a power table and use the `configureCell` function to change background color. Keep in mind this function runs for EVERY CELL. Keep it simple. If you need to load limits, load them into a custom property on the table and reference that from the function. > **[Vision - Power Table Scripting Functions | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/vision-components/tables/power-table/power-table-scripting-functions)** > > This page details the various component and extension functions available for Vision's Power Table component.
