Table Call Value Formatting Options

[miitch]

In both the documentation in Learn as well as blog posts, I'll see text formatting that I cannot for the life of me find in either desktop or the service. 

For example, in the sample images on this page for tables, there are tables with cells that have only the text highlighted, rather than the full cell background. 

This image specifically, you can see that the "Pending" text in the "Status" column only has the text highlighted blue, while the row background color (grey) is still visible as well. 

This is a formatting feature I would love to have, but I can't find. I'm at the point where I don't think it's possible, but I see this exact style for formatting so frequently in examples provided by the team that I'm wondering if I'm just missing something?

You're looking for the Font color rule under conditional formatting, not Background color. Select the table or matrix visual, expand Cell elements in the format pane, pick the field you want to format from the dropdown, then toggle Font color on and click the fx button to set it by rules, gradient, or field value. That changes only the text color and leaves the row background untouched, which gives you the highlight look you see in those docs screenshots.

If this helped, a thumbs up and accepting the solution would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks for the response! 

Unforuntaly I think you misunderstood. The look in the example image I am trying to recreate is not just the blue font color, but the light blue highlight behind the text. 

You can see that while the font is blue, the text also has it's own background color that sits on top of the row background color. The issue being, font color only changes the text to blue, and setting "Background color" fills the entire cell and replaces the row background color.

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately I think you misunderstood.

Setting the text color is not the issue. As you can seen in the screenshot, the text itself is not only blue, but is hightlighted light blue as well. 

In the image, you can see that for the second row, the Status cell has blue text, the text is highlighted blue, and the row background remains grey.
