How can I change the background color of a cell in report generator?

I am very new in the report generator toolbox, but hopefully someone can help me here

I am generating a table via report generator, but if i have this table:

T = [1 2 6; 3 4 10; 2 5 10] 

is it possible to color the cell so values <10 turns green, >10 & <20 turns yellow, and >20 turns red in the output report?

Thanks a lot in advance

You can change how a particular number is formatted in a table by setting properties of a Text object that contains the number. For example, the following code creates a Text object for an entry in T and sets the BackgroundColor property to green. It creates a table using the Text object and the remaining numbers in T:

% Make T a cell array so that we can replace a number with a Text object
T = {1 2 6; 3 4 10; 2 5 10};

% Replace the number 6 with a Text object
textObj = mlreportgen.dom.Text(T{1,3});
textObj.BackgroundColor = "green";
T{1,3} = textObj;

% Create a Table from the Text objects and add to a report
tbl = mlreportgen.dom.Table(T);

More information about the mlreportgen.dom.Text class along with other formatting options can be found at the following link:
