Highlight specific rows bold

Hi all,

     I am trying to create a Profit and Loss statement in Power BI and have successfully created one using a template i designed in excel and pulled it into Power BI. Used Variables to do the calculations for each line item on the P&L Template. However, there are certain rows in my table that i want to Highlight and Bold. But i cannot find any option for it. What i am trying to do is highlight the subtotals field name and results. 

 

Thanks,

  AL Thomas

Yep, you are right , the options is available only for matrixes...
As an alternative in a table, you can apply a light background color with conditional formatting.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortuantely, i am using a table instead of the matrix. The table itself is a excel template i pulled into power bi so i could show the indentations and blank row spaces after certain accounts just to make it look like a proper P&L Statement.

I suppose there is no way to Bold it in table

. Is there a way to highlight it? I looked at conditional formatting and was able to conditionally format the column name to specific color, but where i try to do it for the value, it highlights the entire column with the color.

Hi Rita, There is no option for "Specific Row" like "Specific Column". If you have solution, rather than applying to "Row Subtotals", can you please share?

Hi @AL_Thomas 
We can format the fonts as bold only for totals and subtotals.
