How to color more than one cell in an ALV line ???

Question

Hi SDN community,
I have the following problem:
I display an internal table with the 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' function and want to color two cells, not only one cell.
Coloring one cell is no problem with...
cell_color1 TYPE lvc_t_scol, " cell color
DATA  gs_cellcolor    TYPE          lvc_s_scol. " to color a cell
gs_cellcolor-fname = 'TNAME'.
gs_cellcolor-color-col = '6'.
gs_cellcolor-color-int = '1'.
gs_cellcolor-color-inv = '0'.
LOOP AT it_result.
  IF it_result-trend EQ 'fast-growing'.
    APPEND gs_cellcolor TO it_result-cell_color1.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      MODIFY it_result.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
and
ls_layout-coltab_fieldname = 'CELL_COLOR1'.
, the last one is in the layout building form.
My problem is that in
ls_layout-coltab_fieldname = 'CELL_COLOR1'.
, I can only type in ONE fieldname, but I would like to color more than one field/cell, you got my problem?
Thank you very much,
Marius

I'm pretty sure that the color would be controlled by what records are appended to the CELL_COLOR1 table inside IT_RESULT. . So move the code inside the IF statement, and add addition logic.
LOOP AT it_result.
  IF it_result-trend EQ 'fast-growing'.
   gs_cellcolor-fname = 'TNAME'.
   gs_cellcolor-color-col = '6'.
   gs_cellcolor-color-int = '1'.
   gs_cellcolor-color-inv = '0'.
    APPEND gs_cellcolor TO it_result-cell_color1.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      MODIFY it_result.
    ENDIF.
else.
   gs_cellcolor-fname = 'OTHER_FIELD'.
   gs_cellcolor-color-col = '5'.
   gs_cellcolor-color-int = '1'.
   gs_cellcolor-color-inv = '0'.
    APPEND gs_cellcolor TO it_result-cell_color1.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      MODIFY it_result.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
