How can I highlight a table cell based on task status?

[Kelly Brennan]

I have a task list set up in a table. I would like the cell or row the task is in to be highlighted green when the task is completed. Could I go about this using a macro, and how?

Hello @Kelly Brennan 

Please note that since the 6.1.0 version, the Confluence Wiki Markup and Markdown syntax is supported in the Table Transformer macro.
It means that you can enhance the formatting abilities of your tables in Confluence.

With the help of the FORMATWIKI() function, conditional formatting, conditional inserting of statuses are possible now.

Here are some other use cases you may need in the future.

As far as I know there are no macros for conditional formatting. You certainly can filter those rows out with Table Filter macro.

But you can write a custom script for highlighting rows with a certain status and add it to the page using HTML macro.
