Traffic Light

Hi,

I have seen a lot of workarounds for traffic lights but cannot find the option as shown in the picture below where the icon appears.  I grabbed this from POWER BI file but I cannot figure out how it was created.  Where is this option such that this traffic light icon appears next to the field  name?

 

  • Hi Maureen ,

    This symbol indicates a KPI which is a calculated measures you could create in Power Pivot or SQL Server Analysis Service.  When you import the data to the Power BI Desktop, it may look like a Traffic Signal indicator.

    For further details about KPIs, you could refer to this article.
