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!

Can card layouts' background show RYG colors based on data values?

Is it possible to have arrow indicators in Power BI KPIs on top of indicators provided by Power Pivot model?

Other layouts like cards, charts should have an ability to show KPI colored indicators along with data values.

This feature is a must.

I agree this is not complete. This should be native to the desktop application. Cards should have fields available to create indicators.

Would also be nice to push notifications to mobile or windows 10 desktop app notifications for how far off folks are from their weekly goal... or how far off they are from their nearest competition. (Similar to fitbit type motivators)

This is a basic feature for a reporting tool.

I agree this is not complete. This should be a native feature to Power BI without the need to create a separate Power Pivot model.
