Hi, 

is there a UNICHAR for a green up arrow yet?

Thank you!

The Green upper arrow UNICHAR code does not exist in power bi, but we can overcome this limitation by adding the Grey upper arrow UNICHAR (#11165), then we should create a separate measure for the color code. By using conditional formatting, we are able to display the green upward arrow.

Hi The following works nicely.

Just drag to a visual and set the colour to be green using the format properties of the visual

Measure = unichar(129153)

See here for more.

Thanks @Phil_Seamark!

I have the arrows as a field in a multi row card visual, and can't seem to see where to change the colour... ?

I haven't tried it, but would conditional formatting help?  You can change font colours, and it is a character.

Thanks @Anonymous,

Unfortunatly having some trouble with the conditional formatting! Also, it doesn't seem to be an option within the card visualisation

You are right, i should have paid more attention to your screenshot.  I'm now thinking of alternate ideas.

Perhaps this article might be down the line of what you are attempting?
