Hello! I have a table of transactions and they’re grouped vertically by month and horizontally by category. I’d like to:

1. Apply zebra striping to the table so it’s easier to read when I have more grouped rows and grouped columns.
2. Apply conditional formatting so I can colour-code the highs and lows of each column and row.

Hey @Fanda_H,

Here is a great post from the community on this!

[Row color by color.](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/row-color-by-color-picker-in-each-row/18684)

There are some additional posts in the community that go over changing color and using conditional formatting. The basic way to do this would be to create a column with a simple checkbox that when select will apply coloring to a row.

Hope those options help!

Best,  
Dan
