Hi, It would be really good to be able to have conditional formatting for text too. The feature is already in Excel and a lot of other dashboard tools

I'm guessing this comment is pointless, but having more options around conditional formatting would be nice. Options similar to Excel would be nice. I need to do conditional formatting on text.

I just googled all over to figure out how to format negative numbers in a table. FRUSTRATING that I needed to create another column (per field) I wanted to format this way. Had to create an INDEX for each then format the color based on the index. SAMPLE: W2 Index = IF('Product Sales'[W2 Projected Inventory] < 0,-1,1)

Conditional formatting allows you to do this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-conditional-table-formatting. You can set rules for positive, negative, color scales etc. even custom logic by using a measure that returns a hex code for your color.

This is helpful for accountants who want to peruse a list of numbers and quickly identify out of scope comparisons. Financial Statements still reside in the purview of a matrix with traditional columns and rows - and that means long lists of chart of accounts, and multiple columns of siloed information to compare.

For advanced conditional formatting options in Power BI, try Inforiver. They have excel-like options such as classification, icons, quick rules, segmentation etc.


Some videos - Data bars, Color scale, Classification, Dynamic Selection, Quick Rules and Advanced options.

We already have this in Excel, why removed it from DAX/Power Pivot?
