How to change color depending on value using javascript with a twist, table column names are not fixed?

Hello all,

I have below javascript code that I use to change the color of my table cell:

require([
      'underscore',
      'jquery',
      'splunkjs/mvc',
      'splunkjs/mvc/tableview',
      'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
  ], function(_, $, mvc, TableView) {

      var CustomRangeRenderer = TableView.BaseCellRenderer.extend({
          canRender: function(cell) {
              return _(['Performance']).contains(cell.field);
          },
          render: function($td, cell) {
              var label = cell.value.split("|")[0];
              var val = cell.value.split("|")[1];

                if(val=="high")
                {
                  $td.html("<div class='css_for_high'>"+label+"</div>")
                } 
                else if(val=="low") 
                {
                  $td.html("<div class='css_for_low'>"+label+"</div>")
                }
                else if(val=="no")
                {
                  $td.html("<div class='css_for_no'>"+label+"</div>")
                } 
                else 
                {
                  $td.html("<div class='align_right'>"+label+"</div>")
                }

          }
      });

      //List of table IDs to add icon
      var tableIDs = ["customTable"];
      for (i=0;i<tableIDs.length;i++) {
          var sh = mvc.Components.get(tableIDs[i]);
          if(typeof(sh)!="undefined") {
              sh.getVisualization(function(tableView) {
                  // Add custom cell renderer and force re-render
                  tableView.table.addCellRenderer(new CustomRangeRenderer());
                  tableView.table.render();
              });
          }
      }    
  });   

My table has a column "Performance" with samples values like, "99.75|high", "100.00|low", etc.

What the code does is get these values of column "Performance", split it, and then change the color depending on val.

Now, I have a table that looks something like this:
alt text

The number of columns increases or decreases depending on the time picker chosen by the user.
What should I put in line:

return _(['Performance']).contains(cell.field);

to make all the column with date headers be read by the javascript code?

Just guessing, but try changing return _(['Performance']).contains(cell.field); to return true;
