Good news indeed. We can't not have conditional formatting in PBI Desktop - absolutely essential in my view. Also, I'm looking for a bolding option (icon) to be added to the Column and Row headers.

Without a bolding option, (depending on the colour used for conditional formatting when available), column and row headers on tables and matrix's in particular could disappear. Right now, they just don't stand out compared to the data displayed on a table or matrix. They need to.

    Hey Sean
    
    I just posted a separate suggestion entitled 'Add a bolding option (icon) to the Column and Row headers (in Format options)'.
    
    Let's hope people vote for that too !
