)The tab_style_body() function
Use exibble to create a gt table with a stub and row groups. This contains an assortment of values that could potentially undergo some styling via tab_style_body().
Cells in the table body can be styled through specification of literal values in the values argument of tab_style_body(). It’s okay to search for numerical, character, or logical values across all columns. Let’s target the values 49.95 and 33.33 and style those cells with an orange fill.

style = cell_fill(color = "orange"),
values = c(49.95, 33.33)

Multiple styles can be combined in a list, here’s an example of that using the same cell targets:
gt_tbl |>
tab_style_body(
style = list(
cell_text(font = google_font("Inter"), color = "white"),
cell_fill(color = "red"),
cell_borders(
sides = c("left", "right"),
color = "steelblue",
weight = px(4)
)

You can opt to color entire rows or columns (or both, should you want to) with those specific keywords in the targets argument. For the 49.95 value we will style the entire row and with 33.33 the entire column will get the same styling.

style = cell_fill(color = "lightblue"),

In a minor variation to the prior example, it’s possible to extend the styling to other locations, or, entirely project the styling elsewhere. This is done with the extents argument. Valid keywords that can be included in the vector are: "body" (the default) and "stub". Let’s take the previous example and extend the styling of the row into the stub.
gt_tbl |>
tab_style_body(
style = cell_fill(color = "lightblue"),
values = 49.95,
targets = "row",
extents = c("body", "stub")
) |>
tab_style_body(
style = cell_fill(color = "lightblue"),
values = 33.33,
targets = "column"

We can also use the pattern argument to target cell values in character-based columns. The "fctr" column is skipped because it is in fact a factor-based column.

style = cell_fill(color = "green"),
pattern = "ne|na"

For the most flexibility in targeting, it’s best to use the fn argument. The function you give to fn will be invoked separately on all cells so the columns argument of tab_style_body() might be useful to limit which cells should be evaluated. For this next example, the supplied function should only be used on numeric values and we can make sure of this by using columns = where(is.numeric).
gt_tbl |>
tab_style_body(
columns = where(is.numeric),
style = cell_fill(color = "pink"),
fn = function(x) x >= 0 && x < 50

Styling every NA value in a table is also easily accomplished with the fn argument by way of is.na().

tab_style_body(
style = cell_text(color = "red3"),
fn = function(x) is.na(x)
