Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my test, you could refer to below stesps:

Sample data:

Create a measure to show the KPI:

KPI = IF(MAX('Table1'[Current Cost])<MAX('Table1'[Prev Cost]),UNICHAR(8601),IF(MAX('Table1'[Current Cost])>MAX('Table1'[Prev Cost]),UNICHAR(8599),UNICHAR(8596)))

Result:

2.PNG

Use the conditional formatting function to modify the [Complete] column:

Result:
