KPIs & Conditional Formatting

Is it possible to create a Card that can include KPI icons, such as up arrow (green) and down arrow (red) without having to create a lengthy Dax calculation?

Hi @TLW_STL ,

The KPI visual in Power BI does not support built-in icons, but you can create a custom KPI card with conditional formatting.

Steps:
Create a Measure for Trend

Trend_Indicator =
IF([KPI_Measure] > 0, "▲", IF([KPI_Measure] < 0, "▼", "-"))

Change Colors using Conditional Formatting
Select the Card visual.
Click on the "Format" pane (paint roller icon).
Expand Data Label > Conditional Formatting.
Set Green for Positive and Red for Negative.

@TLW_STL , 
you can't add icon on the same visual instead you can create measure and use that to visualize icons on another visual which you can resize and group it with your original card visual to look like one visual. And for your reference below link for your refrence. https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/FORMAT-icon-set-for-use-in-a-data-card/m-p/811692
