    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.

    Please add, would be ideal to apply company formatting to chart axis titles as well as chart titles

    Please add this very simple feature that is available in things like excel and others. - Edit - I have found this feature when editing the Text Box Feature - a toolbar has popped up with these options change font/ Bold / Italic / underline (Dec 2019 version) still cant see bold in table / matrix headers

    It'd be helpful to have Text Box title conditional formatting function with additional text formatting such as italic, bold, etc for some situations like using as dynamic description with SWITCH () , part of a main visual.

    I have a short cut, please choose a bold font from font style for now.

    Totally agree !!! Power BI has to work on it immediately. It is strange that they do not have this simple feature. Hopefully, it will be available soon !!!

    Agreed! I want to change one column in a table to bold but had to do the whole table in Segoe Bold instead. ugh

    This could be part of the conditional formatting options
