How to Bold Specific Column Values in Power BI Table Visual.

Hi Gopiraju404 ,
Power BI doesn’t currently support direct font style formatting (like bold) on individual columns in a table visual through the standard Format pane.

One approach, we can use, is to create a DAX measure to map this, assuming that you have a mesure named Target, please use this DAX:

BoldTarget = 
VAR RawText =
    // Format the Target value as “0.00%” (two decimal places plus a percent sign)
    FORMAT ( [Target], "0.00%" )

VAR LengthOfText =
    LEN ( RawText )

// Create a virtual table of positions from 1 to the length of RawText
VAR Positions =
    GENERATESERIES ( 1, LengthOfText, 1 )

// For each position, extract the single character, then map it to its “bold” Unicode equivalent
VAR MappedCharacters =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        Positions,
        "@OriginalChar", MID ( RawText, [Value], 1 ),
        "@BoldChar",
            SWITCH (
                TRUE (),
                // If it’s a digit “0”–“9”, calculate its bold‐digit codepoint:
                UNICODE ( MID ( RawText, [Value], 1 ) ) >= UNICODE ( "0" )
                    && UNICODE ( MID ( RawText, [Value], 1 ) ) <= UNICODE ( "9" ),
                    // Bold zero ’𝟎’ starts at U+1D7CE; so:
                    UNICHAR (
                        UNICODE ( MID ( RawText, [Value], 1 ) )
                            - UNICODE ( "0" )
                            + UNICODE ( "𝟎" )
                    ),

                // If it’s a decimal point “.”, replace with a middle dot “·” (visually similar to bold “.”)
                MID ( RawText, [Value], 1 ) = ".",
                    "·",

                // If it’s a percent sign “%”, use the fullwidth/bold‐style percent “％” (U+FF05)
                MID ( RawText, [Value], 1 ) = "%",
                    "％",

                // Otherwise, leave the character as is (e.g., minus sign, space, etc.)
                MID ( RawText, [Value], 1 )
            )
    )

// Concatenate all the mapped characters back in the original order
RETURN
    CONCATENATEX (
        MappedCharacters,
        [@BoldChar],
        "",              // no delimiter
        [Value],         // sort by position ascending
        ASC
    )

Now instead of using your original target measure in the table, please use this one.

Your finally output will look like this:

Hi Gopiraju404,
Power BI does not currently allow you to apply bold formatting directly to only one column's values via the Format pane.
But there is a workaround, you can make the values stand out by applying font color formatting like this

Step-by-Step:

1. Select the table/matrix visual.

2. Go to the "Target" column field > click the dropdown arrow.

3. Choose "Conditional formatting" > "Font color" 

4. Choose "Field value" and provide a measure to return formatting.

TargetColor = 
IF(NOT(ISBLANK([Target])),
    "#000000",  // black font
    "#AAAAAA"   // gray/white if blank
)

5. You can set all other columns values are lighter grey as because we need to highilight the Target column. In this way you can highlight/bold the Target column values.
