The conditional column feature is awesome! I would like to see an option to copy an existing rule since most of the time you only change the value when you add a new rule. It would be a minor improvement, but it's the little things that matter :)

Please add, could be a major time-saver. Or, if copying not possible, allow to apply CF to multiple fields in one go? Thanks.

Has a solution happened for this yet. I completely agree I have to conditionally format all my change % and variances this is a pain when I have to input the same rule 500 times.

It should enable the conditional formatting by selecting multi-column, like what is enabled in Excel.

Now I have to repeated all rows and column, doing more than 500 selection by repeating 20 * 25 colors for all cells in the table, this is not interesting.

how is it that these basic features are not implemented?

RE: Add "copy rule" option to conditional column dialogue

THIS would be a HUGE time saver. I hope this gets added. Need a way to easily have all data in a row on a table formatted the same (i.e., bold, or colored) so we can have a top row of data stand out. As it is now, we have to go field by field and select each format option for each. Takes way too much time. Need a format painter for those separate fields in a table

This feature would save me a lot of time and reduce the risk of accidental inconsistencies.

It is quite painful to keep entering the same parameters over and over again. Please implement this feature.

I would also love to see this function. Power BI has become a big part of my daily work and this kind of function would help my being even more efficient
