The conditional formatting implemted is good but i miss the option to format the font red for negative numbers and blue for positiv numbers.

Conditional formatting allows you to do this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-conditional-table-formatting. You can set rules for positive, negative, color scales etc. even custom logic by using a measure that returns a hex code for your color.

Specially for those cases when I need to classify different metrics to evaluate and every one has a specific Target. For instance I try to configure Conditional formatting into a scorecard with different metrics and it is not possible using BI once I can not use range of specific value to do it >(

It would be great when i can set the colors for positive Values in green and automatically invert this color for negative values to red. Generally in Bar-Charts. This Function would be similiar to the "Invert Filling when negative"-Checkbox in Excel. Bonus: I can choose, if negative is good or bad. Sales would be bad, Costs would be good.

As with most accounting software systems, auto-change the color of text/cells to show negative values when viewing a Table visual. This could be a selectable asset in the attributes of a visual.
