Format Painter for Field Columns - Is that possible?
Hello PBI Experts,
I have a PBI Table with 20+ field Columns (see below for screenshot).
I have applied successfully of - Conditional Formating on 1 of the Column
However, I would like to apply the same Color Formating to - Rest of the other 20+ field Columns. Is that possible within PBI?
I know Format Painter works across two different visuals, but how does within same visual - different field Column work?
Thank you for your help in advance! Have a beautiful rest of your day 👍
Hi MarleeBI ,
First of all, many thanks to for your very quick and effective replies.
Based on the knowledge, it is impossible to apply conditional formatting to all columns directly, you should apply formatting individually for each column.
Please try the following methods as workaround:
1.Create the simple table.
2.Select the conditional formatting for 12 column.
3.Select the Rules in the Format style and set the Rules.
Besides, it is also able to create a measure for the column conditional formatting.
Conditional formatting = var colum_ = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[13]) RETURN IF(colum_ > 13 && colum_ <= 14, "yellow", IF(colum_ > 14 && colum_ <= 100, "green") )Select the Field value in the Format style for column 13 and choose the formatting measure in the field.

Hi MarleeBI
Conditional formatting is applied one field/column at a time. You may raise this is an idea - https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/search-ideas/?q=conditinoal%20formatting%20format%20painter?currentSelected=Looking at the screenshot, it seems that you'll benefit from unpivoting your columns.
You mentioned - "Conditional formatting is applied one field/column at a time"
If you don't mind, could you provide some more - step-by-step guidence - on how to apply it?
From the screenshot, How Can I apply Column 12 Color formatting logic - onto Column 13?
Perhaps - there's XMLA backend code - that can help me apply Column 12 conditional formating - to all my other columns - Column 10-30??
That would be very helpful. But I do not know how to do so in XMLA nor Formating Painter...
Anyone could help?
