Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my custom icons into power bi. Ive found a few outside of the ones provided in power bi on this website - Download 1,297,800 free icons (SVG, PNG) (icons8.com)
I would then type it out in a json file trying to import it in as a theme in powerbi but it keeps giving me this error -
Im not familiar with Json syntax but i did follow some instructional videos online such as this one where i input the base64 code of each image. - Importing Custom JSON Icons into Power BI | Improve Your Conditional Formatting #data - YouTube
This is my json syntax - {
"Name": "Custom Icons",
"icons": {
"Exhibit Redlines Icon": {
"description": "Contract Redlines",
"url": "data:image/png;base64,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"

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
Your JSON is almost all correct.
Two things to fix:
I have attached a fixed JSON them file that imports successfully into Power BI Desktop.
