How to have a visual showing variation from the last period and change color if it's good or bad

Hi,

 

I'm creating a Power BI dashboard and I'd like to have a visual showing the variation of the current measure from the last year and I'd like for it to change color depending on whether the increase/decrease is good or bad like this visual below.

Here's the link to the dashboard in French : Microsoft Power BI.

 

Does someone know how I can add this colored box ? Is it a text box with a function added for the background color ?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

ML

Is it a text box with a function added for the background color 

Could be but it looks more like a table visual with background colors and without column headers

Thank you @lbendlin ! Do you know how I can show the positive and negative variations (+ & -)?

How about the arrows in this visual?
