Helper IMeasure for Conditional Formatting Icons instead of Background Color
Hi All,
I am in the process of creating a dataset to revise a bunch of reports that I have created. All of these reports use the same 5 files and in order to be more efficient, I am creating the dataset to improve refresh time on the server I am on.
I use the same conditional formatting to put Power BI's stock icons into a column based on a check. Instead of pushing back numbers, it shows one of the conditional formatting stock icons:
I see that there is a way to create a measure that does background coloring, but that doesn't work my case:
GAP Icon MN = SWITCH(
TRUE()
,SUM('*MergedMCSH'[GAP √ SA]) = -1, "#f44242"
,SUM('*MergedMCSH'[GAP √ SA]) = 0, "#f4f142"
,SUM('*MergedMCSH'[GAP √ SA]) = 1, "#5ff442",
"#FF0000"
)
How would I call the Power BI stock icons instead?

Hello jamiers ,
You can use UNICHARS() to call icons.
GAP Icon MN = SWITCH( TRUE() ,SUM('*MergedMCSH'[GAP √ SA]) = -1,UNICHAR(129528) ,SUM('*MergedMCSH'[GAP √ SA]) = 0, UNICHAR(129516) ,SUM('*MergedMCSH'[GAP √ SA]) = 1, UNICHAR(129313), UNICHAR(128681) )Refer below link for Unichar codes.

Thanks for this -- is there any way to get the actual Power BI check mark? Red X? Yellow Flag?
