Conditional formatting to a line chart in Power BI can enhance data visualization by highlighting trends and changes. While Power BI does not support direct conditional formatting for line charts, you can achieve similar effects using a workaround (creating a bar chart with conditional formatting and then changing it to a line chart) . This guide will show you how to use a bar chart to set up conditional formatting and then convert it to a line chart.
Sample Data:
