Hi @jcastr02 ,

 

We can set conditional formatting based on the measure like that.

Measure = 
VAR a =
    MAX ( 'Table'[category] )
VAR maxv =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[valu] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[category] = a )
    )
VAR valu =
    MAX ( 'Table'[valu] )
RETURN
    IF ( valu = maxv, "red" )

@v-frfei-msft Thank you - was looking to see instead of the red box we could bold the text?

Hi @jcastr02 ,

 

Please set the conditional formatting of the font color instead of background color.

Then we can get the excepted result as below.

Is there a way to just bold the number in black font, and not change the color to red?

Row, I doubt. But what I have seen a condition measure has been created and applied to all columns.

Hi @amitchandak 
I'm curious. It is possible to create bold texts using a condition measure?

Hi @jcastr02 ,

 

I do not think that is a current feature. There are other prior post similar to this. For the meantime, you may vote for this idea.
additional font formatting (bold, italic, underline, etc)
