Code and development icons for Power BI

Development icons label engineering work: deployments, branches, bugs, builds. DevOps and engineering-metrics reports (lead time, change failure rate, incidents) use them by work type.

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

  1. 01

    Pick and colour

    Choose one of the code & development 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 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.
