Search, filter and settings icons for Power BI

Using search, filter & settings icons in Power BI
Where search, filter & settings icons earn their place in a report, and how to keep them readable.
Use a funnel for filters and sliders for settings. Readers coming from other apps already know those meanings; don't swap them.
Show an active-filter state. A funnel with a dot or a count when filters are applied tells readers the page is filtered, which prevents a lot of wrong conclusions.
Power BI tip: Build the active-filter dot with a measure: IF(ISFILTERED(Product[Category]) || ISFILTERED('Date'[Year]), <funnel-dot URI>, <funnel URI>) with Data category Image URL, shown in a one-cell table next to the filter button.

Three steps from this page to your report
- 01
Pick and colour
Choose one of the search, filter & settings 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 search, filter & settings icons in commercial Power BI reports?
Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (17 from Lucide, 41 from Tabler Icons, 4 from Heroicons, 18 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.
