How to Add a Categorical Icon to Table

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm a new PowerBI user coming over from Tableau. I'm trying to determine if there is a way to add a categorical circle icon to a text table, similar to the Tableau screenshot below:

Can you let me know the best process to use in PowerBI to achieve the desired result above?

Thank you,

Paul

@Anonymous , You can create a unichar measure

Example

🟠 128992

🟡 128993

🟢 128994

🟣 128995

🟤 128996

Switch(Max(table[Category]),

"Cat1", unichar(128992),

"Cat2", unichar(128993),

"Cat2", unichar(128994),

// add others

unichar(128995) //default

)

Or you can circle and do conditional formatting

same manner
