Hello,
Everything I can see about KPI's seems to assess trend over time. I just want a simple +/- based on 2 figures:
eg.
2019 Sales = £1,000
2020 Sales = £1,100
Indicator = Green upwards arrow, ideally showing +£100 and/or +10%
Does this exist?
Many tahnks,
Mike
Thanks all, but the conditional formatting fucntion only works when comparing data within a column.
I am looking to produce a row such as the example below:
2020 2019 KPI/variance analysis
Sales £1,100 / £1,000 / +£100/+10% green arrow indicator

Yes. You can use conditional formatting and/or icon sets. Please see this post - https://powerbi.tips/2019/07/icons-upon-icons/
Also, you can also add icons as text in your measure outputs by holding the Windows key and "." (or ";") and concatenating it with your result. In your case you can use an IF() to have two outcomes each with a different icon.
If this works for you, please mark it as the solution. Kudos are appreciated too. Please let me know if not.
Regards,
Pat
