Condition Formatting for BOLD Text

HI,

 

 Is there any way to BOLD the data based on expression ?

 

 Conditional Formatting section allows only to change the FONT color but not allowing to make the text BOLD for a particular column inside Table visualization

I have been using this site to make bold and stylized text in my DAX measures: Bold Text Generator (𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲 & 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲) ― LingoJam. It uses the unicode symbol set so no HTML tags needed or extra visuals.  

WOW! That is soooo cool!
Thanks a lot!

How would the measure be written to indicate a different Font type?  

I know how to do the measure for picking the colour for say a hex code, but how do you put the font type into DAX expression?

Hey @nagaraj 

 

As far as I am aware this feature is not currently available. You may be able to do it using a measure or a theme, but I wouldn't be able to direct you in that pursuit.

 

You can vote for the idea here for Bold, Itallic, etc. https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11602134-additional-font-formatti...

 

If this helps please kudo.

If this solves your problem please accept it as a solution.

This will help get the idea more votes.

To add to @Tad17  comments, You could try to use different font family for the values.

 

Segoe (Bold)

Arial Black

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

I have a scenario where on a particular condition satisfied, then i need to make that text as BOLD and should be GREEN color.

Using Conditional Formatting i can make the color by creating a NEW measure, but can't apply this logic to have BOLD text as the Conditional Formatting is not supported for BOLD

Hey @nagaraj 

 

@VasTg  is saying that you can use the same measure to make the font something like ARIAL BLACK while using the font ARIAL for the rest of the data so that it appears bold. Its a nifty little work around. Pretty cool.

@Tad17 

 

I tried that option, but was unsuccessful. Not sure if I am not doing it in correct way.

Below is the column i have used to derive the color and this COLUMN is used in the COLOR_EXPRESSION for Conditional Formatting.

 

Font_ApprovalDate = IF( NOT (Tbl1[hStatus]) IN {7,8} && Tbl1[F_ApprovalDate] < Today() ,"Green","Black")

Can you please brief the steps to achive the same
