Using code & development icons in Power BI
Where code & development icons earn their place in a report, and how to keep them readable.
A bug icon for defects and a branch icon for code changes cover most engineering reports; avoid piling on terminal and brace icons that mean 'code' generically.
Engineering readers expect precise states. Pair build-status icons with the status word from your CI system rather than inventing new labels.
Power BI tip: For the four DORA-style metrics, give each card the same icon (deploy, clock, bug, restore) in every team's report, placed as Image visuals at a fixed X/Y so the row is recognisable everywhere.
Good uses
- Deployments and releases KPIs
- Bug vs feature splits
- Pipeline or build status tables
- Repository and branch pages
Three steps from this page to your report
- 01
Pick and colour
Choose one of the code & development 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 code & development icons in commercial Power BI reports?
Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (30 from Lucide, 30 from Tabler Icons, 5 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.
