I have used DAX code to use UNICHAR for showing Loss in financial data, but I am getting the above error. Please help (Note- I am using financial data by Power BI desktop)

@azeemkhalipha , As I suggested above, I created it as a measure and that seems to be working. Please find the file attached after signature.

@azeemkhalipha , Error is not clear.

But in case you are creating a color measure 

if should if

if(sum(financials[profit]) <=0 , "Red", "Green")

The "Enterprise" row is showing twice when I add the DAX function. I want it to be in one row only with "red" remark

Hi @azeemkhalipha 

Download sample PBIX with this code and visual

As a Measure use this

 

Remark = 

VAR _Red = UNICHAR(128308)
VAR _Green = UNICHAR(128994)

RETURN
IF(MAX('Financials'[Profit]) <= 0 , _Red, _Green)
