Change colour of individual SAP ALV cells within an ALV grid report

The below abap program shows how to change the colour of individual ALV cells /fields. Only a small number of changes are required from a basic ALV grid which include adding a new field to ALV data declaration table(it_ekko), populating this field with the field name identifier and colour attributes and finally adding an entry to layout control work area. These changes are highlighted in bold below.

* There are a number of ways to create a fieldcat.
* For the purpose of this example i will build the fieldcatalog manualy
* by populating the internal table fields individually and then
* appending the rows. This method can be the most time consuming but can
* also allow you  more control of the final product.

* Beware though, you need to ensure that all fields required are
* populated. When using some of functionality available via ALV, such as
* total. You may need to provide more information than if you were
* simply displaying the result
*               I.e. Field type may be required in-order for
*                    the 'TOTAL' function to work.
