Within a single cell or a text-box or similar you could have only one formatting for everything. This means you need to distribute it to multiple cells - maybe two columns side by side or maybe another method to highlight a certain content, like: As sweet as APPLE.

Hi Marcus,

@marcus_sommer I need in a single column, As Sweet as APPLE. But APPLE must be in Blue color, as i need to use in straight table.

Please help

Like above mentioned it's not possible - at least not with a single column. Thinkable is the use of an extension - but I don't know an existing one and I doubt that it would be worth the needed efforts.

@marcus_sommer  Could you please help me how to do it in side by side column as per your first reply

marcus_sommer

You could for example use something like:

left(Field, index(Field, ' ', -1))

for the first column and

subfield(Field, ' ', -1)

for the second one to split the field-values appropriate and the first column will be right aligned and the second left aligned - and sizing the widths of columns. And by a right click on the second column and calling the option of custom format you could adjust the color of the left border to your background-color or maybe making it transparent with argb(0,0,0,0). The blue string-color could you set per attribute-expression (the small + signs by the dimensions/expression and choosing adding by text-color = blue().

Your wanted sorting-order isn't quite clear for me unless you want to sort not only for columns else the values of multiple columns in combination in a way that they would exclude each other on a column-level.

In such a case you need to combine the columns within the sorting. The easiest way is usually to make all the values numeric and then to sum them. This means all string-values get also a numeric value, for example like:

pick(match(Result, 'Lost', 'Won', 'Tie', 'No Result'),
   dual('Lost', 9), dual('Won', 7') dual('Tie', 8)', dual('No Result', 0)) as Result

and within a sorting expression from the chart you may apply:

rangesum(Date * 10, num(Result))

Like mentioned above I didn't understand your ordering and therefore the result from this example may not fit for it - but the logic  to sum/subtract the values with a more or less large multiplication/division to one column to ensure that the rangesum-results couldn't overlap will work. Such playing with logic and algorithm is usually in a tool like Excel easier and faster as within a BI tool or a data-base - Just try it.
