Creating Circle Indicators with UNICHAR

Hi, 

 

I need to publish a report with circles indicator with the following conditions: 

-> If Coverage% is 90%-100% then it should return blue light on Coverage Indicator

->  If Coverage% is 60%-89% then it should return black light on Coverage Indicator 

-> if Coverage% is less than 59% then it should return Red Light on Coverage Indicator 

 

What, I have done is, I created 3 different measures for each light as follows: 

1. Black Light = UNICHAR ( 9899 )

2. blue light = UNICHAR ( 128309 )

3. RedLight = UNICHAR ( 128308 )

 

When, I pull each of the above measures to the dashboard and visualize them as cards, all three measures are showing the right colors circles. 

 

And then I created the Coverage Indicator measure using the above three measures. 

 

Coverage Indicator = var Coverage = [Coverage %] return switch (true(),isblank([Coverage %]) , blank(), [coverage %] < 59.00,  [RedLight],  [Coverage %]  < 89.00 , [Black Light], [Coverage %]  < 100.00,  [blue light])

However, the result only shows one red circle for all numbers of Coverage%

I am not sure, how to fix this issues. I am certain than the coverage indicator measure must have some errors somewhere. Could anyone please help me with this. I am fairly new to Power BI and my knoweldge of DAX language is very limited. 

 

Thank you in advance.

As mentioned above, please modify your measure using dax below:

Coverage Indicator =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    ISBLANK ( [Coverage %] ), BLANK (),
    [coverage %] < 0.59, [RedLight],
    [Coverage %] < 0.89, [Black Light],
    [Coverage %] < 1, [blue light]
)

You are using 59.00 for 59% in your measure and so on. But 59% is 0.59 and not 59.00
