Design and colour icons for Power BI

Design icons label visual settings: themes, colours, layers, layout. They're useful in a report's own style guide page or in a theme switcher built from bookmarks.

DAX measure and data URI: set the measure's Data category to Image URL. Theme icon JSON: paste its iconsblock into your current theme JSON and import that with Design → Import theme (older builds: View → Themes → Browse for themes), then pick the icon in Conditional formatting → Icons. Importing the icons-only file on its own replaces your theme, so your colours and text styles fall back to Power BI's defaults.

Your set (0)

Theme JSON holds only the icons: merge its icons block into your current theme before importing, or your theme's colours reset.

Add up to 24 icons (for example good / neutral / bad) to export them together.

Using design & colour icons in Power BI

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

A palette icon is the clearest 'change theme' signal. For a light/dark switch, a sun and moon pair from the weather set are even clearer.

Design icons in a business report should be rare. One theme switch in the header is useful; a palette on every page is clutter.

Power BI tip: Power BI can't switch themes at runtime, but you can switch backgrounds: two bookmarks that toggle a light and a dark background image, triggered by a palette-icon button.

Good uses

Theme or colour-mode switch buttons
Report style-guide pages
Layer or overlay toggles
Brand asset pages

Three steps from this page to your report

01
Pick and colour
Choose one of the design & colour icons below and set its colour to match your theme.
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.
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 design & colour icons in commercial Power BI reports?

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (23 from Lucide, 34 from Tabler Icons, 1 from Heroicons, 22 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.
