Two column formatting of Table

Is it possible to make two bowls the same color in the viazual 'Table' for example.

So that it is clearer that these columns belong together?

 

I would like to make it clearer in a way that the columns belong together.
With thicker borders around the two bowls it does not work either.

@Frixel If using a table visualization, Specific column formatting can be set:

Thanks @bchager 

is it also possible to do someting with the borders from the cells?

 

@Frixel Yes, but manually with an approach that will need maintenance if your column widths change.

Here I overlaid rectangles (Insert, Shapes), made them 100% transparent, and adjusted the border color and width, also ensuring that the shapes are above the table visualization in the selection pane. It's also a good idea to group the shapes and table viz together so they can be moved at the same time without having to readjust.

Thanks @bchager that is indead a possible but the table is dynamic.

I think that when there are more rows that the borders are not dynamic.

@Frixel Right if you want the borders to encapsulate all rows it won't work when the table becomes scrollable. They'll only border the visible rows.

That looks like a matrix viz to me. You're looking into using conditional formatting on cell background based on the  on the dock number but only on the values. Conditional formatting on column and row headers isn't currently supported.
