Epic idea: Conditioanl formatting parameters displayed in legends and tooltips

Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions.

Red, Yellow, Green formatting is key when it comes to dashboard development. All Managers want to have that visual key.

This is a BASIC feature that should have been implemented a long time ago.

Also conditional formatting should be able to use a different measure for the min or max values. Like explained in this suggestion. https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/17266151-conditional-formatting-based-on-a-different-measur

Quoting from Mike "There are other registered ideas that are almost the same as this one. This uncontrolled idea submitting option is not efficient. I think this is a really important feature but because of the inefficient registration does not get the votes it deserves (now its fragmented). Not my text but I agree fully: I think that Microsoft must spend more time on these basic, fundamentals of reporting / dashboarding. I worry that too often they spend more time chasing cool, "glitzy" functionality, at the expense of the core functionality that other products have " I have to agree as well. It's almost as if the Power BI developers are a bunch of Javascript programmers who know nothing of the decades of solid UX knowledge Microsoft has gained over 4 decades and are now relearning old lessons. Also as far as looking for previously registered ideas is concerned, there doesn't seem to be a way to sort the search results by number of votes. Votes could be spread out over twenty duplicates and you end up wasting your vote on one copy that has zero votes instead of the duplicate with over 75 votes.

This is a very basic feature to show negative value in red color

Yes, please add conditional formatting for dimensions (Text). We often have business logic that is applied during ETL and stored in the fact or dimension table, and being able to do conditional formatting like in Excel on text values would be very useful.

I need to be able to have negative numbers automatically adjust the font color to red.

conditional formatting does not currently allow for negative values in red, positive in black--please fix!
