I'd like to be able to have conditional formatting for my data labels in line charts, bar charts, funnel etc.

A great example for this would be to highlight positive and negative values in a bar or linechart, by having negative values represented by red data labels.

I know that it's possible to conditionally format the color of the bars in a bar chart but it would be nice to have this be possible for the data labels as well.

RE: conditional formatted data labels

Isnt it already possible (02 FEB 2022) from the Data Label formatting ?I agree that some improvements are still missing e.g. if I want to see only last value of a chart.

RE: conditional formatted data labels

agree! I posted a bug report since this should be possible in the august-update, but it isn't: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Conditional-formatting-for-Data-label-colors-at-line-level/idi-p/2032406

RE: conditional formatted data labels

Please share this idea with others :) I'm surprised this isn't a standard feature. It's ironic that we can use conditional formatting on text, lines, backgrounds, borders, and *values in tables*, but not on *values in a data label* ? Why for all those and not the other ? Seems like the logic is already built in. It just needs to be extend it universally, across every element, especially data labels.

Conditionally format the label type as well using the FORMAT function

Must required. Easy to highlight achieved and not achieved figure in chart.
