Add increase/decrease marks to bar chart

ericjo_0-1729490576513.png

I want to add an increase/decrease mark to the bar chart as shown in the following image.

As you add, is it possible to change the dynamic color to green if the value increases and red if it decreases?

Thank u.

Hi, @ericjo 

 

You can try the following methods.

Result = IF(ISBLANK([Measure%]),BLANK(),IF([Measure%]>=0,UNICHAR(9650)&FORMAT([Measure%],"Percent"),UNICHAR(9660)&FORMAT([Measure%],"Percent")))

Color measure = IF([Measure%]>=0,"Green","Red")

Is this the result you expected?

If you know a way to insert bar numbers and display % outside, please let me know.
