Needs VotesEpic 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.

Quoting from Mike "There are other registered ideas that are almost the same as this one. This uncontrolled idea submitting option is not efficient. I think this is a really important feature but because of the inefficient registration does not get the votes it deserves (now its fragmented).
Not my text but I agree fully:
I think that Microsoft must spend more time on these basic, fundamentals of reporting / dashboarding. I worry that too often they spend more time chasing cool, "glitzy" functionality, at the expense of the core functionality that other products have
"
I have to agree as well. It's almost as if the Power BI developers are a bunch of Javascript programmers who know nothing of the decades of solid UX knowledge Microsoft has gained over 4 decades and are now relearning old lessons.
Also as far as looking for previously registered ideas is concerned, there doesn't seem to be a way to sort the search results by number of votes. Votes could be spread out over twenty duplicates and you end up wasting your vote on one copy that has zero votes instead of the duplicate with over 75 votes.

This is a BASIC feature that should have been implemented a long time ago.

Red, Yellow, Green formatting is key when it comes to dashboard development. All Managers want to have that visual key.

Must have feature, would make things a lot easier!

Like we can do with filters we should be able to define data colors not only on the level of a single visual but also on higher levels which are a reports page and even the entire report.

We need this badly - An opportunity to conditional format nonmeasures /additives . There is no possibility to conditional format like if then else.
Hopefully you will pay attention to this!

There are a variety of Text based and other conditional formatting upgrade requests. Any chance you can combine those into one? My primary focus is on conditional formatting for text. So if the field returns "Yes", color it green. Thanks, Scott

Please add true conditional formatting. A developer should be able to base the lower/upper bounds on either a field value or a dax statement. (Ex. if(x>=y,z,a)
