Hello - I am working on using custom conditional formatting icons for the table as follows:
STATUS ICONS
| NOT STARTED | Red Diamond |
| IN PROGRESS | Yellow Triangle |
| IN REVIEW | Yellow Circle |
| CLEARING COMMENTS | Exclamation Point in a yellow circle |
| COMPLETED | Check mark in a green circle |
| BLOCKED | X in a Red Circle |
I would like my symbol to display on the left of my already existing Status column. How would I go about creating these custom icons for my tasks status?
Thank you,
Jeanette
Hi @jean_valadez ,
I think you can use conditional formatting in table visual/matrix visual.
Select [Status] column andapply setting to Icons.
Result is as below.
For reference:Apply conditional table formatting in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hi Rico - Thanks for the feedback. That is what I expected the conditonal formatting to let me do however I am not sure if I need to change my Status data under the Column Tools ribbon to another data type. It is currently set as Text/string and I do not get the first COUNT option as you are seeing in your screenshot. Please see below for reference:
Thank you,
Jeanette
