Conditional formatting of X-axis values

[itskool]

Hi all,

I am struggling with applying conditional formatting to x-axis values:

I need to mark the weekend bars as well as their x-axis values with a different color. 

I have managed to apply the conditional formatting to the bars themselves by creating a columns with the DayofWeekNumber and setting the rule as "if Sum of DayofWeekNumber is >5 then pink"

But for some reason this approach does not work with the x-axis labels (the actual words that say Saturday, June 25 etc.)

Does anyone have an idea how to implement this? Is it at all possible to implement conditional formatting for individual values of the x-axis or does it only work for the whole axis?

I realise this is an old thread, but this still seems to be the case.

Hi @itskool ,

According to my knowledge, your requirement could not be realized currently. An idea similar with what you expect has been submitted in Microsoft Idea (powerbi.com)

You may vote the idea and comment  to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

@itskool , Create a color measure and use it in conditional formatting with the field value option

if( weekday(max('Date'[Date],2) >=6, "Pink", "Blue")

How to do conditional formatting by measure and apply it on pie?

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, it still formats the whole axis, not just the weekend values.
