SVG Trend Indicator

Just like SVG SparkLines this DAX produces a Trend indicator, Up/Down/Neutral. Add it as a field in your table, keyed off a numeric value to give you the up/down/neutral. One additional trick is ...

    Thank you.

     

    Yes an issue with copy & paste. and Having tried it again, the editor here is doing "fancy" stuff that I cannot work around.

    The "magic" is attached in an image below.

Likely a browser issue. Or browser version issue.

Does it work in Chrome?

Strangely it doesn’t work in Chrome or Firefox but it does work in Edge - never seen in issue like this that way round, its usually vice versa. I’ve raised a ticket with Microsoft so will see what they say.

Thanks,

Tom

    That's really weird. "Everything" works in Chrome.

    The SVG code that you have (or are generating)... you can place in a txt file xyz.svg and open that in the browser... so you can test outside of Power BI. There maybe something in the SVG code or headers that is breaking the browser compatability?

      Just tried that and the SVG is sound. I have deployed this with different SVGs in 3 different projects and they all simultanously broke with the Feb update of PBI so there must be a change in PBI somewhere. I thought it might be due to "external" images so I took the URL of an SVG that I found online and put it into a table and set it to Web Image but that worked fine.

       

      Will keep you posted with what Microsoft say. They've asked for the PBIX file.

       

      Thanks for the help,

      Microsoft have acknowledged it is a bug and i'm awaiting details of a fix. For now I had to bake the SVGs I wanted into files and host them then use a web URL as usual.

       

      I did notice that the images are still honoured if you export to PDF and it works in Edge just not other browsers.

        Very interesting....I have the same issue.  For me, it is broken in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox however it works in Opera!  

         

        Any news from Microsoft?  I opened a support ticket a week ago and have heard nothing back from them.
