Displaying Formatted Text in Matrix/Table

[Sonu88]

Hello,

I would like to display formatted text inside a table. How can I achieve this in a matrix or table?

The City column contains some information in italics, and the request is to display this information as it is.

I've tried multiple workarounds, but I still can't display the information as intended, can someone help me how to achieve this without any custom visual?

The input data file is below.

Country Name	State	City
India	MS	Mumbai Financial Capital
India	Delhi	Delhi Country Capital

Hello,

There's not an inbuilt way to do this from what I've seen and you have to use workarounds. Power BI does allow you to do conditional formatting for background colours, icons, etc.. but not font styles.

You can try to make a calculated column or measure based on the fields of your dataset and then copy and paste text generated from one of these sites: https://lingojam.com/BoldTextGenerator or https://inputoutput.dev/unicode-italic-text-generator/.

These are Unicode Text Generator websites and they should display correctly in your matrix (example below):

The alternative would be to make your own converter dictionary and then substitute characters in a measure or column but I can't find a list of unicode characters for italicised characters. This would be the better option though.

Please let me know if that helps.
