Different colors in alv cell

Hello experts,
I use reuse_Alv for displaying my alv.
I use this command to color single cells background color
LOOP AT gt_mytab INTO ls_mytab.
    ld_index = sy-tabix.
    IF ls_mytab-expstatus = '0000'.
      wa_cellcolor-fname = 'EXPSTATUS'.
      "color code 1-7, if outside rage defaults to 7
      wa_cellcolor-color-col = 5.
      "1 = Intensified on, 0 = Intensified off
      wa_cellcolor-color-int = '0'.
      "1 = text colour, 0 = background colour
      wa_cellcolor-color-inv = '0'.
      APPEND wa_cellcolor TO ls_mytab-cellcolor.
      MODIFY gt_mytab FROM ls_mytab INDEX ld_index
      TRANSPORTING cellcolor.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
But what if i wanted to color the cell background fx. yellow and the text in the cell green, is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,
Try to use '-emphasize' field to adjust cell that you are going to set.
Or, please refer to this [link|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1336861].
Hope it helps.

Coloring an ALV Cell with DYNAMIC INTERNAL TABLES

Hello Gurus,
I need your help regarding coloring of a cell in my ALV Grid report with DYNAMIC tables.
I have used the call method in calling my ALV. (CALL METHOD gr_alvgrid->set_table_for_first_display).
Now my problem is, I can not bring out the cellcolor succesfully, I always ended up to dump (GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED = You attempted to access an unassigned field symbol
(data segment 32807).
What I have done:
I've created 2 internal tables:
*1st table
*After appended all of my columns to gt_fieldcat
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    EXPORTING
      it_fieldcatalog = gt_fieldcat
    IMPORTING
      ep_table        = gp_both.
ASSIGN gp_both->* TO <i_xtab1>.
*2nd table
Appended these column for CellColor
CLEAR wa_gtfldcat.
wa_gtfldcat-fieldname = 'CELLCOLOR'.
wa_gtfldcat-ref_table = 'CALENDAR_TYPE'.
wa_gtfldcat-ref_field = 'COLTAB'.
APPEND wa_gtfldcat TO gt_fieldcat.
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    EXPORTING
      it_fieldcatalog = gt_fieldcat
    IMPORTING
      ep_table        = gp_alvgrid.
ASSIGN gp_alvgrid->* TO <i_xtab2>.
*Work Areas for tab1 and tab2
CREATE DATA dref1 LIKE LINE OF <i_xtab1>.
ASSIGN dref1->* TO <wa_xtab1>.
CREATE DATA dref2 LIKE LINE OF <i_xtab2>.
ASSIGN dref2->* TO <wa_xtab2>.
*Move contents of table1 to table2 and modify cellcolor column
LOOP AT <i_xtab1> ASSIGNING <wa_xtab1>.
*-----Cell color assignment
    DESCRIBE TABLE gt_fieldcat.
    DO sy-tfill TIMES.
      READ TABLE gt_fieldcat INTO wa_gtfldcat INDEX sy-index.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT wa_gtfldcat-fieldname
        OF STRUCTURE <wa_xtab1> TO <fs4>.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0. EXIT .ENDIF.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT wa_gtfldcat-fieldname

Hi,
The internal tabl which you are using to display the output should have one column in the end.
The cell in this column will contain an internal table of type 'lvc_s_scol'.
The contents of this internal table will be the field names of all other columns of your main internal table in the field FNAME and the required color in the field COLOR.
Please note that the field COLOR will have a hex value for different colors.
In the stucture is_layout whihc you pass to the method 'set_table_for_first_display'
the name of this last column should be given to the field 'ctab_fname'.
This will help you to give the colors to each cell.
for example
I have my data table as follows:-
ITAB1
MATNR MAKTX        COLOR_TAB
1           ABC            FNAME COLOR NOKEYCOL
                                MATNR 8000
                                MAKTX 8000
2          XYZ             MATNR 10000
                              MAKTX 10000
So my internal table ITAB1 had 3 columns MATNR MAKTX and COLOR_TAB.
And COLOR_TAB will contain an internal table with 3 columns FNAME COLOR and NOKEYCOL.
The value to importing parameter IS_LAYOUT-CTAB_FNAME will be COLOR_TAB.
This will help you to assign various colors to the cell of the internal table ITAB.
When you have to change any color, then you will have to just change the entries in cell COLOR_TAB for the particular row and cell.

How to set input ready query cell is different color?

Dear All
Hi, everyone, hereby i have a IP question.
i would like to know, how to set the input ready query's cell different color between those cell which is unable to change value one in workbook..?
Example :
For my workbook which have a input ready query,
i have 4 rows for my input ready query report.
For the first row which is not input ready cell and unable to change any value for the cell, then following rows's cell can be change value,
so, i would like to make first row's color cell different with following row's cell.
In additional, all value of cell is initial zero.
therefore, is there any mehtod to make different color between able cell and unable cell?
Thanks a million.
Regards,
WenLong.

Cells in the input ready query result have different styles given by SAP. All rows will have one style, column headings will have one style whereas input ready cells will have one style. If you are in Excel 2003, put cursor in the input ready cell, goto format -> style, you can see one BeX style attached to that cell, apply watever color you want for that style, save the workbook. If you do this for one cell, it will be applied to all the input ready cells by default. In the same way you can give different color to the non input ready cell styles. In Excel 2007, Cell styles are available in Home -> Cell styles. Here you can see all Bex related styles.

If you have a different color for every cell in the table, then maybe it would be easier to store a custom Object in the TableModel that has two pieces of information:
a) the text to be displayed
b) the background color of the text.
Then you can write a custom renderer that uses both pieces of information to renderer the cell correctly.
Here is an untested example of what the custom renderer might look like:
class ColorRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
               JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
          super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
          CustomObject custom = (CustomObject)value;
          setText( custom.getText() );
          if (!isSelected)
               setBackground( custom.getBackground() );
          return this;
}

Different color text in one cell

How do I set a color for a group of words within a cell leaving the rest of the words black?
I can make all the text within a cell the same color but when I select the words I want to be a different color the color selector in the toolbar goes away and only fx, Cancel and Accept buttons are available.

If it is simple text, not the result of a formula, select the words you want to change and select another color from the toolbar or the color panel. That is, unless I didn't understand your request. I don't know where you are seeing Accept, Cancel and Fx.

Displaying different colors for cells/columns in Interactive Report

Hi,
I have a requirement to display just the 'cells' in the Interactive Report columns with different colors.
There are 3 columns in the Interactive report.
The color coding for all the 3 different columns should be such that:
<40% - red color
40-70-orange
greater than 70%-green
I tried the highlight option in the report and saved the report as default, but still the color condition ended up getting displayed to the end user. I dont want this.
Can someone suggest a better way to handle this requirement?

Perhaps explore similar solutions described here

How to set two different UIE in one cell in ALV table

Hi all,
I have a hierachy ALV table. For some reason I want to have two UI elements in one column. For example, the text and a menu next to the text. Is it possiable to do that?
best regards,
Wenwen

Hi,
thank you for your answer. Yes, now I also find the class CL_SALV_WD_MULTI_CELL_EDITOR which could be used to set different UIE in one cell. But it is quite limited, just the following UIE could be used
- LinkToAction
- LinkToURL
- FileDownload
- Button
- ToggleButton
best regards,
Wenwen

Setting cell color in ALV

Hi All
I would be greatful if someone could please help...
I am still attempting to get cells painted within a WDA ALV grid display.
I have tried to use the method stated in the WDA sap press book - but this method is for use with TABLE element and I am using a ViewContainerUIElement for my table. There are mentions of wonderful ways to color cells in a list display - but I cannot understand how this can be achieved. I currently have this working appart from the numeric numbers of the design being set into the relavant column cell.
If anyone could help that would be great...

How to set different color text in JTabe cell

Hi
I have been searching many forums to find how can this be done, but no success.
I have Custom JTable with MyTableRenderer which is nothing else but alternate the color of rows(cells), CustomTableModel extends DefaultTableModel adding functionality for updateCellContent with different messages.
I have a column in which cells i want to set these messages in different color.They are not set by user's editing, and by updating the content using the table model.
Here is the code for that
public void updateCellContent(HashMap<String, String> messages, int col) {
        for (int row = 0; row < this.dataVector.size() - 1; row++) {
            //This value is hardcoded for now.
            boolean isError = true;
            String filename = getFilename(row);
            String message = messages.get(filename);
            if (message != null) {
                if (isError) {
                    setErrorMessage(message, row);
                } else {
                    setMessage(message, row);
    private void setErrorMessage(String message, int row) {
        this.setFileStatus(message, row);
    private void setMessage(String message, int row) {
        String value = (String) this.getValueAt(row, COL_FILE_STATUS);
        ((Vector) this.dataVector.get(row)).setElementAt(value + " " + message, COL_FILE_STATUS);
        fireTableCellUpdated(row, COL_FILE_STATUS);
public void setFileStatus(String message, int row) {
        setValueAt(message, row, COL_FILE_STATUS);
    }Thanks

I have Custom JTable with MyTableRenderer which is nothing else but alternate the color of rows(cells)If I understand you correctly a better way to do this is to override the prepareRenderer(...) method of JTable. You can search the forum for my "Table Prepare Renderer" (without the spaces) example which shows how this can be done.
I have a column in which cells i want to set these messages in different color.Then you need to use a custom renderer for that column.
If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.

Is it possible to set a different color to part of a cell?

Hi all,
I am have trouble setting cell-specific Renderer.
I have followed the instructions in the UISwing tutorial
and extended JTable definition to overload getCellRenderer()
to return myRenderer
final JTable tableView = new JTable(dataModel){
public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column) {
TableCellRenderer colorRenderer = new ColorRenderer();
return(colorRenderer);
My class definition for ColorRenderer is as follows:
class ColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
public ColorRenderer() {
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
JTable table, Object color,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int column) {
setForeground(Color.blue);
return this;
Is it possible to set a different color to part of a cell?
eg. I have "TEST,CELL,COLOR" as a string in a cell.
Can I set a different color to the substring "CELL"?
Your suggestions will be accepted most gratefully!
Thanks in advance

You should inherit your table cell renderer from a container, for example JPanel, add different JLabels to the panel and color them separately.
