Highlight certain cells of excel workbook

Help

I need to loop through a specific column of an excel document and highlight cells with a set specification (words that start with k). I had a few ideas as to how to go about this, but I am having trouble implementing them.
My idea was to loop through the column and record the cells of words that start with k in an array, then go through the array and color the cells listed, but I am having trouble looping through the specific column to record the specific cells I need.

Read the Excel sheet to a datatable using Read Range. Loop through the datatable with For Each Row. In the loop, you can check the column using row(“columnName”) or row(ColumnIndex). E.g. to check the first column:

If (row(0).ToString.ToLower.StartsWith("k"))

Then you could use Set Range Color to highlight the cell.

Hi @BigMatt97
I have developed a sample workflow based on your requirement. You can do it by using a for each loop over the data table and highlighting the excels based on the requirement.
Go through the xaml file and let me know if it helps.
