This was easy with a regular table using the Translate List and Background Color List attributes. In my power table, I tried this under configureCell: if colName == "Pass" and value == 1: return {'Text': 'Pass','background': system.gui.color(0, 255, 0)} else: return {'Text': 'Fail','background': system.gui.color(255, 0, 0)} and nothing …

I found this posted on the forum awhile ago (not mine, credit goes elsewhere) and put it in the table’s property change script. Perhaps it will lead you in the right direction:

```auto
if event.propertyName == 'data':
 	from com.jidesoft.grid import TableUtils
 	from javax.swing import JTable
 	table = event.source.parent.getComponent('Power Table').getTable()
 	
 	table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS)
 	TableUtils.autoResizeAllColumns(table)

```
