I have a table with several columns of numbers. Some numbers need to have just a gray background.
Others need to have a colored background depending on the number. Using a decimal search allows me to differentiate those numbers from whole integers. But there is a final column that has different conditional formatting... a larger range of colors to be applied to numbers.
On this particular table, because it is a data merge and I don't want to repeat the headers over and over on the page, I have eliminated the Table Header Row other than on the master page, so now I don't have a way to differentiate that column (I had been applying the cell style based on each header, which worked great).
I can apply a cell style or a paragraph style to the content in the cell to disctinguish it from the other numbers, but I don't know how to *both* search for a cell or paragraph style *and* then still search for the range of numbers to apply the various colors. Does that make sense?
So I have
******
// All the tables in the active document! …
var myCells = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().getElements(),
C = myCells.length, c;
for ( c = 0; c < C; c++ ) {
if ( myCells[c].columns[0].cells[0].texts[0].contents.match(/\d\.\d/) && myCells[c].contents != "" ) {
if ( Number(myCells[c].contents) >= 0 && Number(myCells[c].contents) < 59.99 ) myCells[c].appliedCellStyle = "Grade Red";
if ( Number(myCells[c].contents) >= 60 && Number(myCells[c].contents) < 69.99 ) myCells[c].appliedCellStyle = "Grade Orange";
if ( Number(myCells[c].contents) >= 70 && Number(myCells[c].contents) < 79.99 ) myCells[c].appliedCellStyle = "Grade Yellow";
if ( Number(myCells[c].contents) >= 80 && Number(myCells[c].contents) < 89.99 ) myCells[c].appliedCellStyle = "Grade Green";
if ( Number(myCells[c].contents) >= 90 && Number(myCells[c].contents) <= 100 ) myCells[c].appliedCellStyle = "Grade Blue";
}
}
******
but for that first search
if ( myCells[c].columns[0].cells[0].texts[0].contents.match(/\d\.\d/) && myCells[c].contents != "" ){
I need it to also either search for Cell Style "Points Gray" or Paragraph Style "Points" but I can't figure out how to do that.
