KPI Red/Yellow/Green Indicators were available in Power Pivot. With the new Power BI Desktop this feature is not available anymore. If you import from PP to the Desktop it converts the RYG Indicator Dots to a number. Will the Red/Yellow/Green Indicators be added back to PowerBI Desktop? If so When?

It's very exciting to be able to close this idea! With the July 2019 release of Power BI Desktop you can now create icon sets that show status indicators, in fact a whole range of icons, in your table and matrix visuals. You can read more in Amanda's blog post here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-2019-feature-summary/#iconSets For those of you who want to have the KPI definition stored in the model itself, please vote on this idea for us to track interest there: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200/suggestions/38181139 Thanks for engaging with the ideas forum and helping us build the product you need!

We absolutely need to highlight cells based on it´s textual content for Management presentations. It´s hard to tell a Manager that we have a great new tool, but unfortunately we are not able to define conditional formatting for the cells.

I think it is unacceptable thinking to have always had this kind of feature in the past on the preeceding tools and not having here now! Please, add this funtionality!

Please provide this feature, my reports lack the necessary highlights on the important information.

Although slightly cumbersome, one solution is to simply apply conditional formatting to an ASCII dot symbol.
