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
how many votes does this need to be implemented. Its embarrassing to tell customers that PBI can do all these amazing things, but can't do something as seemingly simple as text based formatting.,

I hope this feature will be added on the next update/release this will greatly help our customization of our dashboards!
RE: Conditional Formatting for Text
As of February 12 2019 I still cannot conditional format for text, even though I changed the data type of the column to "Text". This is a feature I often used in excel to compare mismatching columns, text that started with XYZ or contained XYZ.
Why does Power Bi insist on turning all my text columns into "Count"? So frustrating.
RE: Conditional Formatting for Text
Conditional formatting for TEXT Please!
RE: Conditional Formatting for Text
The new ability from May 2018 still doesn't resole the original request. Totally agree that a text based conditional formatting would be great, e.g using a 'contains' rather than 'count' where there is a status field
