Adding graphics to columns created by using "quick measure"
I created new measures to calculate weighted avg for Jun-Nov.
Now i would like to add graphics for each column comparing each month to a previous month to display whether the price went up/down/didn't change, like in the example below:
Is it possible to do?

Hi @PC2022 ,
Actually there is indeed a way to create Custom Data Labels in Power BI. But to achieve this function, we’ll use Tabular Editor because it exposes the ability to write custom DAX to format our calculations.
You can refer to this document to achieve this:

i would like to add icons for each column comparing each month to a previous month to display whether the price went up/down/didn't change. For example, July weighted avg went down compared to June, so i would like to add "down arrow" to July. It was recommended to create a measure to return the right Unichar character but i am not sure how.

@PC2022 Generally that is done with unicode characters, UNICHAR, or icon sets. Not quite sure what you are asking. Many times you create a measure to return the right UNICHAR character and set conditional formatting to field value. for example.
