This page provides an example to make user defined styles persist for columns. For this example, let's consider Monthly Temperatures Table, for which you want to set background colors of various columns and auto-number all the rows.
Select this macro
| Macro name | Table Plus |
| Macro syntax | {table-plus} |
Define these parameters/values
Column settings > Formatting > Column Styles (1 2 3 4) | background:lightgrey;text-align:center background:lightblue background:lightyellow;text-align:right 2 |
| Column settings > Numbering & Totaling > Insert auto number column | On |
| Column settings > Numbering & Totaling > Apply Column styles to data column cells | On |
Observe that column 1 styling is repeated in column 4, but, value 2 is used instead of 1. This is because Insert auto number column in On.
