PowerBI needs to have the ability to offer conditional formatting of based on the comparison of 2 or more metrics. For example if metric A = metric B then change the font and highlight color of the cell to red.
If metric A > metric B and metric A < metric C then change the font and highlight color of the cell to green.
This should be unlimited for how many colors can be used. Other BI tools offer this feature.
Note that this is different than what PowerBI currently calls ‘conditional formatting’

As of our May release, you can now conditionally format a column by another field. Which means you can create a column that does your comparisons and then use that to format anything in your table or matrix. If you have other suggestions for conditional formatting options, make sure to vote on those as well! https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-2018-feature-summary/#conditionalFormatting

RE: Conditional formatting (cell highligh, font, etc) when comparing multiple fields

can we use database table driven colours for response?
ie. answers table;

Question | Response | BGColour | Text Colour
happy? | Yes | #0000FF | #000000
happy? | No | #FF0000 | #000000

Also, please add feature to change the colour for entire row. It should be flexible, if developer want to change back ground only for a cell/multiple cell/entire row based on any column value.

This is an important lack of functionality that has my executives considering another dashboard tool. This simple lack of capability has the potential to eliminate all of the great Power BI PR I have been working on internally. So please do whatever possible to give it focus.
