# Adding color to cells
Color is a powerful visual indicator which can help identify change or trends over time. The *Qommentary Pivot Table* allows you to add custom background and text colour to dimensions and measures.
To add color to your cells, follow these steps:
1\. Click on **Edit sheet** button
2\. Expand the dimension/measure properties
3\. Scroll down to the **Background color expression** property and enter a value or expression
4\. Scroll down to the **Text color expression** property and enter a value or expression
The pivot table will now evaluate each cell expression and display the relevant colors
