Education and science icons for Power BI

Education icons cover learning and research: courses, enrolments, completions, labs. Training dashboards, school reporting and R&D pages use them to label programmes and outcomes.

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 education & science icons in Power BI

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

Use a graduation cap for outcomes and a book for courses. Keeping input (learning) and output (graduation, certification) icons apart helps the reader follow the funnel.

For research pages, flasks and microscopes label the type of work; they shouldn't decorate unrelated KPIs just because the team is scientific.

Power BI tip: On a training-compliance table, Conditional formatting → Icons by Rules (complete / due / overdue) with a certificate icon for complete reads faster than three coloured dots.

Good uses

Enrolment and completion KPIs
Course or programme tiles
Training compliance tables
Lab or research project pages

Three steps from this page to your report

01
Pick and colour
Choose one of the education & science 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 education & science icons in commercial Power BI reports?

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (26 from Lucide, 26 from Tabler Icons, 3 from Heroicons, 25 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.
