How to higlight text in a table

Hello,

I have a table in Power BI that contains various text. I want to highlight specific parts of the text (either by underlining, changing the background color, or making it bold). I couldn't achieve this using Conditional Formatting, as it highlights the entire row even when I specify just the word. Could you help me with how I can accomplish this?

Hi @bliss_leia ,

 

If the table has only one column, you might consider using a text box:

If there are multiple columns in the table, the built-in table visual can't do this yet. 
If you have some knowledge of html and css, you can try html content visual:
