Why is this not working?
Measure: Bold_Not =
"<i>" & MIN('DOH_Prod_List'[Product Status])

Hi @Anonymous,

If you want the word to be in bold via HTML, you need to use the bold tag (<b>) rather than the italic tag (<i>).
The tag also needs to enclose the word or phrase you wish to emphasise, so you could use a measure like the following, which uses the SUBSTITUTE function to replace the NOT with what you want, e.g.:

Bold_Not = 
    VAR _Value = MIN(DOH_Prod_List[Product Status])
    RETURN SUBSTITUTE( _Value, "NOT", "<b>NOT</b>" )

Side-by-side will now look as follows, relative to your original column:

And in a custom visual that renders HTML, it should look like this:
