PBI Desktop & Service BUG: Icon Rules conditional formatting occasionally displays wrong icon
Hi rmsolfest,
thanks for testing those options. Since the Unicode icon approach may affect the color formatting and you haven’t had a chance to try it yet, would you like some more time to test it out? Or are you looking for an alternative workaround in the meantime?
Thanks & Regards,

Bug: Icon rules in Power BI matrix visuals show the wrong icon when filtered to a single customer—even though the percentage is correct.
Works fine when multiple customers are selected.
Cause: Likely a context evaluation issue—measure behaves differently with one vs. multiple filters.
Fixes to try:
- Use ISFILTERED() or SELECTEDVALUE() in your measure.
- Wrap logic in VAR blocks.
- Consider using a calculated column or field value–based icon formatting.
I don't understand how the context would affect the icon calc differently than the measure result. My measure's value is listed in the screenshots on the side of the icon to confirm that the value is what I thought regardless of context.
In your proposed solution what would I do differently with HASONEVALUE() or ISFILTERED()?
