We often have columns or measures that we want to be formatted the same in EVERY report tab in EVERY visual the same way. There is no universal method to format a measure in every visual in a report. We have to go into each visual on each report tab and do the exact same field formatting (colors, etc.) in each visual. We would like there to be a Universal option.
And, you know what will come next? :-) No doubt, somebody will want the formatting to be report wide EXCEPT for one single visual somewhere. Is that possible too?

RE: Field Format - Report Wide
I have just discovered that I cannot format the text in the legend . Also if I can format the text to be the colour I want, I don't necessarily need the marker (less is more).
Cheers,
Ian

The lack of this feature seems to be a recurring habit of Microsoft in the Power Platform, I remember working with Power Apps at one point and that suffered the exact same problem.
Can we get some QoL features please Microsoft?

This is the kind of the thing that leaves you wondering, in 2022... how this is isn't already a basic-included feature?
RE: Field Format - Report Wide
Currently the "based on field" formatting (identified by the button "fx" under "Data Colors") is not available for all the standard visuals (like line chart, area chart, stacked area chart, pie chart, donut chart).
This option (available only for the bar/column chart visuals) disappears if a database field is assigned to "Legend". Consequently the only way to customise the colors is by manually selecting them for each case!
