Math and number icons for Power BI

Math icons label calculations: a percentage, a sum, a ratio, a formula. They're useful in measure dictionaries and on cards where the reader should know how a number was built.

Using math & numbers icons in Power BI

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

A percent sign on a card that already shows % in the value is redundant. Use math icons where they add information: a sigma on a running total, a divide sign on a ratio.

In a measure dictionary, a function icon beside each measure name and the DAX in a tooltip page helps analysts audit numbers without opening the model.

Power BI tip: Add an info button with a sigma or function icon next to a KPI and set its tooltip to the measure's definition; Format → Action → Tooltip text accepts up to a few lines.

Good uses

  • Measure dictionary tables
  • Ratio and percentage KPIs
  • 'How this is calculated' info buttons
  • Totals and subtotal markers

    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.

    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 math & numbers icons in commercial Power BI reports?

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (21 from Lucide, 34 from Tabler Icons, 4 from Heroicons, 21 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.
