Changing the background color of individual cells in a Revit schedule

I haven’t been looking at this in a while but last time I checked what you are asking for was not possible. You can really just override header section and what some people were doing is actually putting all of their data into the header section of the schedule and then it’s easy to override them all. I am not sure if you will ever get this to work unless something has changed in Revit 2017.
