Vote for idea to customize KPI indicator icon

[mpi_gov_vn]

Hi guys,

I am in a situation where I need to show up / down arrow in my KPI visual to compare against last month. Unfortunately, the current solution is a bit rough. I use UNICHAR as in this article: https://tessellationtech.io/adding-up-and-down-arrows-in-power-bi/

I would like this simple feature to be readily available in Power BI. Please vote for my idea here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=97ad00e9-6057-eb11-8fed-281878ddff46

Hi @mpi_gov_vn,

AFAIK, currently you can't add arrows into the KPI visual, you can consider submitting an idea to improve this visual usage.
In addition, you can also take a look at the following blog to add the binary string of images to power bi then you can use it combines with your KPI visual for better effects.
