Add cell color in ALV using CL_SALV_TABLE

Dear SAPLearners, in this tutorial we will learn how to add cell color in ALV using the factory class CL_SALV_TABLE.

In earlier tutorial we have added colors to row in ABAP ALV, click here to know how.

This is similar to coloring row. Lets see how we can do it.

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 in SE38 and copy the below code.
