Hi @Anonymous 

As @TomMartens suggested, Icon Map (https://icon-map.com/) should be able to do what you're looking for, but it won't be entirely straight forward.

You would need to dynamically create an SVG image as a DAX measure. 

I will try and find the time to create a pattern for this and share it here, but it will probably be later in the week.

Thanks

@Anonymous , You might have created a text measure with a concatenated string.

unichar can be used as a symbol

Measure = unichar(11100) & [percent]

These are approach example, not solution

Thank @jamesdales , @TomMartens  and @amitchandak 

I have question, is it possible to show KPI Indicator in Power BI map like I show in my 1st question ?

Because I can't find it in this forum and internet

Hey @Anonymous ,

here you will find a little example what can be done using the icon-map visual and some SVG DAX things:
Happy Birthday Power BI - Microsoft Power BI Community

You will find some dancing stars if you hit the party icon:

Sure it#s not a KPI icon, but with a little imagination 😉

So to clarify and expand on my first answer, there's no inbuilt KPI function in any of the current Power BI in built maps, or as far as I'm aware custom visuals.

Therefore the only solution that I can think of, is to dynamically generate an SVG (XML based vector image) using DAX to represent eachKPI output you're looking for and use the Icon Map (V2 beta from icon-map.com) custom visual to display those SVG images. It's not a particularly intuitive solution, but it's the only one I can think of.

I will build you an example and post it here, but I'm unlikely to have chance until Friday.
