We are using de extension function 'configureCell' to set the text and background color in a cell of the first column of a power table. This configureCell function calls an onther function (function x) that returns the text en background color to use. Is it possible to set the whole row with this color setting without using function x for each column? In other words, is there a way to use the colorsettings of the first column to set the colors of the other columns? ---

No. This is a fundamental behavior of the JIDE table (other Swing components have similar behavior). If you want the best performance, bring the data needed by function "x" to properties on the component or container, and make sure the function makes no network requests (no tag reads or other operations that need to call the gateway). ---
