Answer 1

def highlight_col(x): if x.name in 'B': return ['background-color: #feffc1']*x.shape[0] elif x.name in 'Duration':e return ['background-color: #ff9090']*x.shape[0] else: return ['background-color: None']*x.shape[0]

pdf=pdf.style.apply(highlight_col,axis=0).hide_index().set_table_styles(styles).set_caption('Check')
