JSON File with Custom Icons Loads, but Icons Not Available

Hello!

 

I need to use a set of 6 custom icons in a report. I followed a series of step by step instructions on how to do this and my JSON file load sucessfully, but the icons it should be providing are not available. I found several forumns where someone was having a similar issue, but none of the solutions that helped them helped in my case.

 

Here were my steps:

  1. Updated my version of PBI to latest version.
  2. Downloaded icons from https://icons8.com/icons/.
  3. Converted icons to Base 64 from https://www.base64-image.de/.
  4. Created JSON file with Base 64 code (file contents pasted below - I can't upload a file)

  5. Opened Power BI File in desktop and went to View - Browse for Themes, selected JSON file, and opened.
    1. Received "File successfully added" message.
  6. Clicked on column in table - Conditional Formatting - Icons - Style
    1. I see the OOTB icons, but not my custom icons (see screenshots).

Here is the contents of my JSON file. Please note that as shown in the screenshot above, my file does contain colons, but they have been changed to accomodate the HTML in this post.

Your SVGs are all the same, an empty box in a 64x64 viewport.
