How to give up down arrow for Measure in Power Bi comparing values?
I have YTD and Previous Year YTD , I need to create a KPI visual which shows YTD and Previous year YTD also comapares them , based on comparison it will show up and down arrow.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
I think you will add [YTD] in Indicator Field, add [Month] in "Trend axis" and [Previous Year YTD] in Target goals in KPI visual. As far as I know, KPI visual will show Red if [YTD]< [Previous Year YTD] and show green if [YTD]> [Previous Year YTD]. We couldn't add icons like arrow to show comparison result in KPI. Here I suggest you to create a card visual, set the background of card visual as None and Group two visuals.
Measure:
Arrow =
IF (
[YTD] = [Previous Year YTD],
"",
IF ( [YTD] < [Previous Year YTD], UNICHAR ( 11015 ), UNICHAR ( 11014 ) )
)Arrow color =
IF([YTD]<[Previous Year YTD],"Red","Green")
Select [Arrow color] measure in Card Data label Color (fx) > Format Style - Field value.
Result is as below.

Measure = IF ( yourmeasure < 600, UNICHAR ( 9650 ), UNICHAR ( 128315 ) )
//Set your desired criteria instead of 600
