Trend and KPI icons for Power BI

Trend arrows, gauges and targets are the icons a KPI card leans on: they tell the reader which way a number moved before the reader parses the number itself.

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 trends & kpis icons in Power BI

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

Pair each direction with meaning, not with colour alone: an up arrow is good for revenue and bad for cost, so drive the colour from a 'favourable' flag rather than from the sign of the change. People with red-green colour vision deficiency read the arrow shape even when they can't separate the colours.

Use one trend family across the report. Mixing a thin Lucide arrow on one card with a filled Fluent arrow on the next reads as two different signals. Keep the flat state too: a sideways or dash icon for changes inside a tolerance band stops small noise looking like news.

Power BI tip: In a table, Conditional formatting → Icons → Format style: Field value lets a measure return the icon's data URI, so the same measure decides both the arrow and its colour.

Good uses

Up/down/flat markers next to a variance in a table
A target glyph on the KPI that has a goal
Gauge icons on utilisation or capacity cards
Header icons for a 'Performance' page section

Three steps from this page to your report

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

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (6 from Lucide, 14 from Tabler Icons, 2 from Heroicons, 11 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.
