Network and connectivity icons for Power BI

Network icons describe connectivity: online, offline, weak signal, broadcast. Network-operations, telecom and IoT reports use them to show the state of links and devices.

Using network & signal icons in Power BI

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

Signal-strength icons map naturally to bands (none, weak, fair, strong). Bind them to the same thresholds your network team uses so the icon and the alert agree.

An 'offline' state needs its own icon, not just a grey version of 'online'. Greying alone fails for readers who can't separate the colours.

Power BI tip: Power BI's built-in Ratings icon sets include signal bars; when you need your own style, load these icons through a theme 'icons' block so they appear in the same Icons dialog.

Good uses

  • Site connectivity status tables
  • Signal strength bands
  • IoT device online/offline counts
  • Telecom coverage pages

Three steps from this page to your report

  1. 01

    Pick and colour

    Choose one of the network & signal 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 network & signal icons in commercial Power BI reports?

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (30 from Lucide, 29 from Tabler Icons, 4 from Heroicons, 17 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.
