It would be great to conditional format a table and/or a matrix based on the cell text, not only numbers

This month we added the ability to format text fields based off a numeric field: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-2018-feature-summary/#conditionalFormatting We also are planning on adding a feature that will let you format your text based on comparisons. I'll update this idea based on our progress on that feature.

RE: Conditional Formatting for Text

Desperately need ability to format cell as well as the entire row in the table visual based on text value. i have a table of features with columns Backlog ID, Title, Status, Size, Assigned to. I want to color the entire row based on status.

If status = "Done" the row background color becomes Green
If status = "In Progress" the row background color becomes Yellow
If status = "Dropped" the row background color becomes Orange

Hi PBI Team,

this feature is very important to be added! It would greatly impove the visualisation of data in a report.

The text based comparisons would be really useful. Hopefully they will be added soon.

don't forget columns with boolean data type, while implementing this!
