Which Visual to use if Increase or Decrease

Hi,

 

I am after a visual like something below, which it will show a arrown down if the % value is negative and arrow showing up if the % value is positive

The DAX I have that tells be the percentage is the below

 

% Headcount CM v PM =
1-(DIVIDE([Headcount SPLM],[Headcount]))
 
Which is based on the below
 
Headcount =
CALCULATE(
COUNTX(
FILTER('HR','Fact'[EmpStartDate]<=MAX('Dates'[Date])
&&
(ISBLANK('Fact'[EmpEndDate])
|| 'HR'[EmpEndDate]>MAX(Dates[Date]))),
'HR'[EmpId])
) + 0
 
Headcount SPLM =
CALCULATE(
[Headcount]+0,
PREVIOUSMONTH(Dates[Date])
)

 

 

Thanks

Hi, @AvPowerBI 

You need to create cards for arrown icon and data separately and apply custom color measure to the color of data lable.
1. create arrown icon card

image = IF([%Headcount CM v PM]<0,UNICHAR("9660"),UNICHAR("9650"))

2.create meausre 'color' and apply it to the color of card data label

color = IF([%Headcount CM v PM]<0,"red","green")

Hi @mh2587 

 

Thanks for your reply, I have used the KPI visualization but it does not give me a option to change the indicator icons, I want a triangle like my my picture but all it is showing is a tick icon if postive or and exclamation mark if negative

Are you aware of any other KPI visuals that I could use?
