Yes ... I use this function in my "remote device table"

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/4/1/41322b8d346aaa17e23e2d2b7152a51fca2f3fab.png)

to indicate the state of my remote devices.

```auto
{
    "tabulator": {
        "rowFormatter": "function(row){ var data = row.getData(); switch (data.$state) { case \"lost\": row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = \"#9e2e66\"; row.getElement().style.color = \"#a6a6a6\"; break; case \"sleeping\": row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = \"#336699\"; break; case \"disconnected\": row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = \"#cc3300\"; row.getElement().style.color = \"#a6a6a6\"; break; case \"alert\": row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = \"#A6A6DF\"; break; case \"init\": row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = \"#f2f20d\"; break; case \"ready\": row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = \"\"; row.getElement().style.color = \"\"; break; } }",
    }
}

```

```auto
rowFormatter = function(row){
    var data = row.getData();
    switch (data.$state) {
        case "lost":
            row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "#9e2e66";
            row.getElement().style.color = "#a6a6a6";
            break;
        case "sleeping":             
            row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "#336699";             
            break;         
        case "disconnected":             
            row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "#cc3300";             
            row.getElement().style.color = "#a6a6a6";             
            break;         
        case "alert":             
            row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "#A6A6DF";             
            break;         
        case "init":             
            row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "#f2f20d";             
            break;         
        case "ready":             
            row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "";             
            row.getElement().style.color = "";             
            break;         
    }
}

```

It could be that your boolean values are not stored as boolean type. I would insert a `debugger` statement behind the row.getData() call and check what value and type `data.value` actually is. _(I love the "beauty" of javascript)_
