It's necessary for me, as well as others I'm sure, about conditional formatting where there is possibly no numeric value but Text. As well as being capable of applying conditional formatting based on other columns.

Conditional formatting on a dynamic average of a column that can change with filters rather than just the "middle" value would also be extremely useful. In looking for a solution to this, I saw a dozen or so other queries into this or related functionality that are still unresolved.

This would be an awesome feature as its possible to do so on Excel on tables so would be hugely beneficial to end users to have the same capabilities

Not sure whether this is a simple change for you guys to work on, but definitely will make a BIG difference. :)

Excel has conditional formatting based on the value of the cell you want to format, as well as a different cell in another column (for the same row), and the value the formatting is conditional on doesn't have to be a number! Not everyone wants to deal with numbers.
Having said all this, I was using Sisense in a previous role and was waiting for the same feature for 2 years, so I'm not surprised, but share the frustration.

RE: Better Conditional Formatting Tools

I'm quite flabergasted by this lack of functionality... After all it's all about the visualization of data and TEXT is data...
