    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.

    It's the simplest thing for BI to have to compete with alternative options. I agree, specially with the idea of selecting the specific text rather then apply formatting to entire object in question.

    Basic formatting options have been available in MS Office products. Not sure how could these be omitted from PBI.

    Such a basic formatting option that PBI is currently lacking.

    We need this feature as it's pretty native to all reporting/visualization tools nowadays, I hate to say this but Tableau is so far ahead of Power BI when it comes to customization.

    How is this not a feature already?

    This would be great! Considering Microsoft has made this available on all their products I've used, it's surprising this is not already a feature.

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

    I support this. It would most definitely add value for me as a user, when creating visualizations, to be able to conditionally format the font with bold, italic or underscore.
