Icons Conditional Formatting by Field
Hello PaulBI
Are you having trouble getting the incon names to use? Anonymous put together a list in one of his posts from another source you could take a look at.

In this example, I wrote a measure to read the value of my measure then a switch to set the icon.
Format Notes = VAR TheTest = SUM (Notes[Notes] ) / 100 RETURN SWITCH ( TRUE(), TheTest < .2, "CircleEmpty", TheTest < .4, "Circle25", TheTest < .6, "CircleHalf", TheTest < .8, "Circle75", "CircleFilled" )Then I use conditional formatting > Icons on the measure I am trying to highlight and pick 'Fileld Value', and use my formatting switch measure from above.
Hi, i'm trying to do the same - create a Measure for icon formatting and use it in table - however after creating measure and applying it into conditional formatting option in table options my unichar icons are not encoded. Does anyone know how to solve that?
Below my measure, result in table and conditional formatting.
Thanks

It looks like maybe the icons won't get applied in the cell? Maybe you can only use the built-in icons work but you can add your formatting measure in another column and they should show up.
Measure 2 =
VAR _Value = [Benchmark_Medical_Claims]
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
_Value > 1000, UNICHAR( 9660 ),
UNICHAR(9679)
)
Ok - solved. It seems like some of the icons have issue with this scenario of usage. I've changed them on different and it works.
Thanks.The case is that i would need to place them in the same column. At least i will place them in separte column but that's the last option i'm considering.
