Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Row-based conditional formatting is not supported in Power BI yet, so you need to set conditional formatting for each field in the table visual.

Please new a measure.

colour =
VAR _value =
    CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Id] = BLANK () ) )
RETURN
    IF ( _value <> BLANK (), "yellow" )

Then set conditional formatting for each field in the table visual.

Attach the PBIX file for reference. Hope it helps.

Hi,

thank you for the solution, but how can I sort the line so that e.g. under test 1 (marked yellow) all test 1 are displayed and with test 2 (marked yellow) all test 2  ???

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can sort correctly by index column.

For example. First add an index column in the Power Query Editor. Close and apply.

Drag the [index] column into the visual and sort in ascending order.

Turn off the text wrap and drag the width of the index column to the minimum.

@Anonymous Perhaps if you conditionally format the backgrounds if the cells are blank? You can do this with Rules conditional formatting.
