Hi there,

I was hoping that the Power BI team could consider bringing additional font formatting options into Power BI. So wherever there is an option to specify font size, colour and so forth, we should also be able to specify other options such as:

* Bold
* Italic
* Underline
* Strikeout

Also I was wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to allow users to highlight a specific part of a text to format it, instead of formatting the font for the entire object in question.

Gutted that this isnt available when you want a columns test to stand out. I would image it must be available soon.

It is really necessary to highlight few areas in Bold in our Dashboard. It should be implemented at the earliest.

Would be great to have underline for subtotals and totals. Thanks.

Yes please, particularly the ability to Bold a certain item, like you can in SSRS.

Required as well.

It could be possible by conditional Formatting, which will be beneficial to identify parent and child as well.
Such as, if id column 3 (Alpha-Numeric) code column is parent apply the bold and change color font condition on Parent Row.

I assume, in that scenario, could be easy to highlight parent tasks or rows.

RE: additional font formatting (bold, italic, underline, etc)

This seems to be a pretty big oversight. Wonder if this is in the works yet...
