Matrix - conditional formatting - Icon

Hi Community,

I want to get the following formatting in my matrix analogous to my table.

 

as an example my table

000046.jpg

 

here my matrix without the conditional formatting

000047.jpg

 

this is what it should look like

000048.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is such a thing possible with a matrix and if so how can it be?

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

You may create a measure using UNICHAR shown as below:

 

 

Measure = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[value]),
1,UNICHAR(128309),
UNICHAR(128308))

 

Or you could create a KPI column first to get a circle icon:

 

KPI column = UNICHAR(11044)

 

Then refer to the video to finish the format settings:

And you will see:
