How to create extra icons (yellow traffic light)?

[robbert-bi]

Hi all. I would like to create extra icons which I can use in conditional formatting in a table. I currently have a pivot with an orange, red, grey and green traffic light. These come from the standard icon set in Power BI. However, the grey traffic light needs to be replaced by a yellow traffic light. And actually I would like to make the colors exactly the same as in the traffic light at the bottom of this post (these come from a visualisation in a source system which I'd like to recreate in Power BI). 

I already have a JSON file which I imported into Power BI Desktop. Can anyone advise how to create extra icons (traffic lights) with a custom color?

Colors I now have:

Colors I would like to have (see color codes below):

Red = #B21A0A

Orange = #E39520

Green = #26C116

Yellow = #E4DA2E

Hi. Thanks, but this works with measures. I need to have icons in a simple text column and based on the value in the text column the icon should have a specific color.

Hi @robbert-bi ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. 

Since Power BI doesn't let us change the built-in icon colors for text columns, here's a simple workaround you can try:

create a new column that shows the image URL based on the text value:

TrafficLight =
SWITCH(
[Status],
"Red", "https://yourlink.com/red.png",
"Orange", "https://yourlink.com/orange.png",
"Yellow", "https://yourlink.com/yellow.png",
"Green", "https://yourlink.com/green.png"
)

Select the column, then go to the Model view, and set Data Category to Image URL.
Add that column to your table now your traffic lights will show up with the correct colors.

Best Regards, 
Menaka.
