Brand new and on the steep learning curve for PowerBI...
I see a lot of people asking for Conditional Formatting. I would like to do something akin to "info graphics" in Excel, where the values "High, Med, and Low" are replaced with red, yellow, green icons.
Then I found this article: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-conditional-table-formatting/
Can anyone explain how to get this to work? The visuals and menu in my PBI Desktop do not exist. It is VERY frustrating to have an article out there that does not match the UI I see in the product. Are there different versions?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok so it is possible, here are the steps:
First upload/host these icons (images) somewhere where these can be accessed publically, I'm calling these 3 files as below
warning.png
failed.png
passed.png
unknown.png
You can give your own name to these file and change formula accordingly.
1. Add new column to you dataset, may be call it "ImageURL" add this formula
ImageURL = CONCATENATE("http://mywebsite/path/", if(myTable[Level] = "Warning", "warning.png" if(myTable[Level] = "Failed", "failed.png" if(myTable[Level] = "Info", "passed.png", "unknown.png" ))))
2, On Data modelling tab, set Data Category for ImageURL to Image URL (as shown below)
3. Now add table visual on your canvas and add following fields from your table:
Name
Level
ImageURL
and you will see icons based on the images.
THanks,

@parry2k so i have been using a calculated column to return a 1 or 0 and using that for the green or yellow (see code below - Current). In order to implement this I created a new calculated column to return "Trained", "Warning 90", "Warning 60", "Warning 30" or "Expired" (see code below - New)
Current
Fire_Ext = IF (CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( FireEx ), FILTER ( FireEx, FireEx[User ID] = CESEBASE[EmplID] ) )> 0, 1,0)
New
FE_Status = IF ( CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( FireEx ), FILTER ( FireEx, FireEx[User ID] = CESEBASE[EmplID] ) ) > 0, IF ( FireEx[Transcript Completed Date] + 455 > TODAY (), "Trained", IF ( FireEx[Transcript Completed Date] + 425 > TODAY (), "Warning 90", IF ( FireEx[Transcript Completed Date] + 395 > TODAY (), "Warning 60", IF ( FireEx[Transcript Completed Date] > TODAY (), "Warning 30", "Expired" ) ) ) ), "Expired" )
with this for ImageURL
ImageURL = CONCATENATE("https://mywebsite/Icons/", if (CESEBASE[FE_Status]= "Warning 30", "Warning30.png", if (CESEBASE[FE_Status]= "Warning 60", "Warning60.png", if (CESEBASE[FE_Status]= "Warning 90", "Warning90.png", if (CESEBASE[FE_Status]= "Trained", "Trained.png", if (CESEBASE[FE_Status]= "Expired", "Expired.png", "Expired.png" ))))))
The FE_Status is showing this error, sorry I'm pretty new to all of this so any help is appreciated.
Here are my icons
Sorry cannt see you error message, can you post images again.
