Hi,

Is it possible to set an entire (pivot table) row to bold if a field contains a specific trigger word ?  
  
Unfortunately, depending on how the table is filtered, it's not as easy as formatting every other line

Thank you for your response ... I'd not though of going that Javascript route

I think you need to look at using Javascript to do it, a la this: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32748771/color-table-row-based-on-column-value](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32748771/color-table-row-based-on-column-value) -- basically, you a little more than CSS can offer to introspect the table values and set CSS classes as a result.
