As others may have said before with other words, conditional coloring of individual cells based on ranges (when values are numeric) will also be extremely useful.
Being able to select a palette of colors for stacked bar charts would make them very useful. For example, if you have 3 measures in each stack, and a conditional criteria for the sum of all three measures. So if the stacks are 'exceeding' all three measures are different shades of green, if they're 'meeting' they're three different shades of yellow, and if they're lagging they're three shades of red.
Matrix without grid lines is useless and almost impossible to read large data set. I wonder how Microsoft wants Excel and BI users to use Power BI without such basic formatting functions. Why Microsoft keep reinventing the wheel and every single time forget such basic functionalities. Please add grid lines plus column and row colors which can further be customized - and ASAP. Thanks
even simple stuff, like negative values in red. Usually I want them applied to a measure, similar to the way you can do it in PowerPivot with the measures
Alternative colouring is good, but it is even greater that conditional formatting could be applied to table/matrix as well. Also, wondering whether a specific record/row could be highlighted while hovering
Guys, as a PDM myself I just want to say that the work your doing is amazing. This one is a top priority for me and for my team. Everyone is using excel with heat mapped columns. So it would be 4 or 5 columns, with a variance column at the end, and that variance column would be heatmapped. Or also could contain the spark charts underneath. Would be big.
