Is it possible to change the font colour of a specific column HEADER?

 BudgetForecastVariance

 

Hi - id like to change the font colour of the word 'variance' here.  However when i use the specific column option, it changes the colour font for the whole column.

Hi, In Table/Matrix the header is treated as one text block and you can’t apply color to only part of it. There might be workarounds but you would also need to consider whether it's worth the time creating such display.

Hi @EvaHello , Do you want something like below :

If yes, then go to format visual --> specific column --> choose the required column from dropdown --> toggle on for apply to header and choose the required color.

Hi @AnkitaaMishra - yes id like this but ive also centred my column - so if i try applying to header only, it doesnt seem to take account of the centre-ing.  

Hi @EvaHello , I’m afraid that’s not possible directly. However, as a workaround, you can overlay a button on top of the header, change its text color to blue and background to white, and then adjust the layer order in the Selection pane. Finally, group the button and the table together, as shown in the image below.
