Hi,

I have an ExcelStyler set with a specific cell background colour. However I want to override this setting for a specific column in my output spreadsheet so I have set a different background colour in the 'Formatting' section of the ExcelWriter. But column in the output spreadsheet is the colour I set in the ExcelStyler rather than the ExcelWriter.

I am using FME 2018.1

Thanks

@aquamarine I think this is by design. There is a lose hierarchy in FME - transformer setting take precedence over Feature Types which take precedence over writer settings. If you want to attach a small example to this question we can see if there is a way to work around that for you.
