Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ pgfplotstable: font color in certain rows

[Phu87]

Hello together,

I want to color certain rows in a pgfplotstable lets say in red. I found a code snippet that colors the content of one cell. Below you can find an MWE in LaTeX beamer. The first table is done with pgfplots but only colors one cell. The second table is the target result, which is coded "traditionally". How can I achieve the target result in pgfplotstable?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,aspectratio=169]{beamer}

\usepackage[sfdefault]{noto}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif} % math in serif but noto
\usefonttheme{professionalfonts} % math in default serif math font

\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{colortbl}

\usepackage[main=ngerman, english]{babel} % German date formats

Hello @Bartman,

You are right, I also asked the same problem on tex.stackexchange.com: pgfplotstable: font color of a row. I somehow want to find a solution with pgfplotstable. Pgfplotstable has so many cool features. I wonder that it is so difficult to color specific rows.

Hello together,

I finally found a solution based on two other discussions:
pgfplotstable: how can I change the color of a cell's content while maintaining the style?
