Color the background of a specific column in a straight table

[Black_Hole]

Hello all,

I would like to color the background of a column in a straight table.

I already look for this option in the properties of my straight table.

But, I don't find how i can do that.

Please could you help me to change the background of a specific column.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello @Stoyan_Terziev ,

Thank you for your reply.

I don't have the same properties than those your screenshot.

Below, the properties for the background in my QlikView. (Noted that I use QlikView Desktop.)

The problem with these properties is that they are applied to all the straight table. And I want to change the background to just a unique column.

Hi

Your example is a table box not a straight table and yes on a table box you cannot do a single column but in a straight table you can set the background colour on each dimension and/or expression by clicking on the plus sign to the left of the required dimension or expression in the used dimensions or expression list on the relevant properties tab.

Regards

Hi,

My mistake - I didn't notice that was Qlik View.

Atoz answer that pretty well. You need to use a straight table chart.

But... if you absolutely must use the table object, you can create a text box, set transparency to 50% or something, put a layer 'Top' and align it on top of the column in your text box. Like this:

You need to play a bit to make it pixel perfect but it will look like so:

Sorry, I didn't notice that I  am not working with a straight table. Thank you for the information. It will be useful when I want to modify the background on a straight table.
