    No, the ActiveX control cannot be manipulated.

    Hi Romeo,

    I have a SP list with several columns. Among all, there are two numerical columns that have values in percentage %.

    I want to have the columns (cells) to be colored when the % reach to a certain range:

    • If the value is less than or equal to 75%, then color the cell background with Red
    • If the value is greater than 75% and less than 85%, then color the cell background with Yellow
    • If the value is greater than or equal to 85%, then color the cell background with Blue .

    Thanks!

    Thanks Romeo.

    But the post that you wrote was for the data view web part of a list... i want to have the conditional formatting applies in the datasheet view, but not a standard view of the list..

    Hi ,

    Customisations to the Data Sheet View are not supported, as this is generated using the Microsoft Office Access Web Datasheet Component, which renders the grid using the same base engine as the data sheet view that Microsoft Access uses. As the datasheet view runs as an ActiveX control, not simple HTML, so there's no way to simply use JQuery or similar to color the markup .

    You can change the background color of the datasheet view .For more information ,you can refer to this site:

    Background color of a DataSheet view: http://www.sharepointboris.net/2009/02/background-color-of-a-datasheet-view/
