Epic idea: Conditioanl formatting parameters displayed in legends and tooltips

Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions.

It would be great if you could do conditional formatting throughout all of Power BI Desktop. e.g. text boxes have conditional formatting based on your data. It would be great if conditional formatting also worked with the different bars in bar charts etc.

RE: Epic idea: Conditioanl formatting parameters displayed in legends and tooltips

I would like the option to set global data colors for my reports based on a specific field within the data, that will impact all charts using that field.

For example, in our current data set we have a field 'Customer'. Each customer is assigned their own unique color that corresponds to our other documentation, to make charts easier to interpret.

Currently, I have to set the 'data colors' options for every single chart that uses the 'Customer' field. Whenever a new customer appears in our data set, I have to modify the data colors for multiple charts individually.

I would like the option to be able to set data colors for this field on a report-level basis.

Consistent colors definitions should be applied at measure or field level. Check: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=890487c2-6bd2-eb11-ba5e-281878bd2252

I agree. This should be implemented also for other standard chart. Check my idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=37290899-b035-ec11-b76a-281878bdb01d
