Is it possible to somehow color something you show on screen by its value? For example: If a number is above zero then it is colored green and if below zero then it is red. ---

Yes, it’s possible. But depending on what the “something” is, you may need to use some CSS. Just to clarify what I mean - I mean it depends which component you are using to display the numbers. If you are using a single rich text component, for example, then it’s quite straight forward. But if you had a whole series of numbers that you want to present as an inline list, then it gets a little more complicated. ---

Do you have a visual presentation of how you want it to be displayed? ---

This is what I want to achieve. ![Screenshot 2022-01-31 at 11.22.30](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/0/c09e61db91687614e6ef33bde8b664d2795d8ea6.png) I would like a single value to be green if the value is greater than 0 and read if it is lower than 0. I do not need the table or displaying multiple values in a row/table ---

So just a single value, that would be displayed in a rich text component? If so, you could do something like this: - Create an if-then-else column, that references the number column – If Number is less than 0, then red – If Number is greater than 0, then green – Else black - Now create a template column, using the following: `{number}` – Replace `{colour}` with the if-then-else column – Replace `{number}` with the original Number column - Then display the template column in a rich text component. ---

One last question. Would it be possible to achieve the layout like on the screenshot somehow without the colors with this technique? Like adding divs or other HTML tags? ---

Yes, it’s possible. And it’s really just an extension of what I have already shown you. It’s just a matter of defining the table structure within the template, and then using replacements to insert the appropriate values. This [tutorial](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-css-table-with-dynamic-filtering-and-sorting/35784) that I created a while back walks through the process of creating a HTML/CSS table. ---
