    Hi, Anonymous 

    I checked your measure 'indicador base64' and found that you have offset the calendar table by one day.

    DateADD(
    oCalendario[Date],
    -1,
    Day
)

    You may need to remove this filter. The code in the SWITCH section  is sufficient for your needs.

Anonymous , Try to use unichar like this, see if that can help

 

/////Arrow
Arrow =
var _change =[Net Sales YTD]-[Net Sales LYTD]
return
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
_change > 0, UNICHAR(9650),
_change = 0, UNICHAR(9654),
_change < 0, UNICHAR(9660)
)


/////Arrow Color , use in conditional formatting using field value option


Arrow color =
var _change =[Net Sales YTD]-[Net Sales LYTD]
return
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
_change > 0, "green",
_change = 0, "blue",
_change < 0, "red"
)

    Thanks for replying, my icon works fine, my problem is with the values ​​in the comparison. Note that the value is negative but the icon points to positive! I believe it is a problem with decimal numbers since this only happens when the value has places to the right (-0.05, -0.065, ...)
