In this tutorial, we will learn how to color a particular cell in ALV using the factory class CL_SALV_TABLE.This is similar to coloring row.

To apply cell color,

• Create a new column of Type LVC_T_SCOL in your output internal table.
• Set the above column as Color Column in ALV by using the method SET_COLUMN_COLOR( ).
• Add the color data to the color column based on your requirement.

Create a program(zoo_alv_add_color) in SE38 and copy the below code.

REPORT zoo_alv_add_color.
