Visual for simple increase/decrease

I have two values, which may as well be hardcoded measures, and I will proceed as such:

 

Measure1 = 5
Measure2 = 6
MeasurePercentDiff = {Percentage Difference Between Measure1 and Measure2}

 

I am looking to create a visual like this:

Where I just have a really simple comparison between two values and some indicator of increase/decrease. In the example, the 20% increase from Measure1 and Measure2 is represented.

 

I tried the KPI visual but it wants me to give a 'trend axis' which doesn't really exist when I just want to compare two values. The tiny icon for KPI is very close to what I want, but I actually can't get this

Specifically, here are my values and what I actually get from the KPI metric.

Hi  @Anonymous ,

You might consider using the Martix Visual via More visual -- Power BI KPI, where a detailed comparison can be shown.

Please go through Power KPI Matrix sample report to understand how this custom visual works.

This is close. But is there really no custom visual to do this? Simply:

 

Field

 

Target

 

With calculated differences
