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.

Conditional formatting should not only be available if you summarize your data... if you want a line to turn red based on a value in your table why would you force the user to summarize????

Please add the ability to conditionally format text independent of background. It would make a huge difference for financial reporting and allow the correct emphasis to be placed on columns or outliers.

conditional formatting does not currently allow for negative values in red, positive in black--please fix!

Yes, please add conditional formatting for dimensions (Text). We often have business logic that is applied during ETL and stored in the fact or dimension table, and being able to do conditional formatting like in Excel on text values would be very useful.

I need to be able to have negative numbers automatically adjust the font color to red.

This is a very basic feature to show negative value in red color

Also conditional formatting should be able to use a different measure for the min or max values. Like explained in this suggestion.
