Using conditional formatting icons in text box

Hi All,

I have a table which uses conditional formatting to display icons.  I want to include a legend so users know what the icons represent. 

Is there a way to use unichar or something similar, to display the icons below?

HI @bhalicki,

Perhaps you can take a look at the following blog about use 'icon name' to output icon in power bi if helps:

Power BI Icon Names for Conditional Formatting Using DAX - RADACAD

In addition, you can use dax to convert the char number to specific character icons. (you need to find the corresponding icon number at first)

UNICHAR function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
