Chart and graph icons for Power BI

Chart icons label what a page or button leads to: 'Trend', 'Breakdown', 'Distribution'. They work best in navigation, where the reader chooses a view before seeing it.

Using charts & graphs icons in Power BI

Where charts & graphs icons earn their place in a report, and how to keep them readable.

Match the icon to the chart the button actually opens. A pie icon on a button that opens a bar chart is a small lie readers notice. When the page holds several visuals, pick the icon for the question the page answers (trend = line, ranking = horizontal bar, share = stacked bar), not the first visual on it.

Keep chart icons monochrome. Coloured series inside a 20 px icon compete with the real data colours on the page; a single accent or the text colour reads cleaner.

Power BI tip: For a bar/line toggle, put two buttons on the same spot, set each button's icon to Custom with these SVGs, and wire each to a bookmark that hides the other visual (Selection pane + Bookmarks pane).

Good uses

  • Page navigator buttons (one chart type per page)
  • Bookmark toggles that switch a chart between bar and line
  • Section headers in a report index page
  • Empty-state placeholders while a visual loads

Three steps from this page to your report

  1. 01

    Pick and colour

    Choose one of the charts & graphs icons below and set its colour to match your theme.

  2. 02

    Copy the format you need

    SVG or PNG for Image visuals and button icons; the DAX measure or data URI for tables, matrices and cards; theme icon JSON for conditional formatting.

  3. 03

    Bind it in Power BI

    For a measure, set Measure tools → Data category to Image URL. For theme icons, import the theme and choose the icon in Conditional formatting → Icons.

Want the icon next to a formatted value with a target colour? The free DAX SVG measure builder draws icon + value cards, and the conditional formatting icons recipe walks through custom icon sets end to end.

Questions about these icons

Can I use these charts & graphs icons in commercial Power BI reports?

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (30 from Lucide, 29 from Tabler Icons, 6 from Heroicons, 15 from Fluent UI System Icons), which allow commercial use. Keep the licence notice when you redistribute the icon files themselves; the full texts are on the licence page. Licence texts · licence file (.txt)

Why does my DAX icon show as text?

The measure's Data category must be Image URL (Measure tools → Data category). Also check that every # in the SVG is written as %23, which the copied measure already does.
