Use Bold characters based on condition

Hi,

Is there any way, in a calculated column or measure, to bold the text if some condition takes place.

Say, if the length of the string is lower than 10, use bold charachters?

Doesn't have to be bold, could be any other way that will make the text stand out.

Thanks.

If the string is in a measure you can do it.  In my example [Month_Name] is a measure

Month_Name = SELECTEDVALUE( Dates[Month Name] )

Then I have another measure for the formatting

Month Name Format = IF ( LEN ( [Month_Name] ) <= 5, "Red" )

That gets applied to the [Month_Name] measure.
