Help Power Bi Desktop line color and text formatting

Hello everybody,

I am creating a report whose present data is extrapolated from an excel file present in a sharepoint folder, in this report there is a visual object containing a table as shown below.

I would like Power Bi to color me red only those lines in which the CHGs are still "Work in Progress" after 7 days from the Planned end date.

I saw that it is not possible to do conditional formatting in that sense as for excel files, is there another way?

 

In addition, the excel file to which Power Bi Desktop is connected, extrapolates the data from ServiceNow and I notice that the text is always extrapolated with html tags, as reported below and this also affects Power Bi, is there a way to solve?

Thank you so much for your reply and for the great advice on removing html from text.

 

What I would like to obtain in the table is that Power Bi independently colors me red only the rows in which there are CHGs that have a Planned End Date at the current date greater than 7 days.

 

Thank you very much

Power Query has an XML (HTML) parser, you can extract the required data that way.
