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!

Got 3 votes from me. Colored columns in a chart should have the ability to be value based. E.g. if the value is below zero the column turns blue, above zero then red.

This is a complete must for measuring KPI's based on targets and goals.

Specifically when using card and guage reporting!

Not sure why this is marked as completed. When will we be able to create KPI Red/Yellow/Green Indicators in PowerBI Desktop?

I am very surprised to see that KPI are not in Power BI 2.0. Hope it will be included in the next release

This is not completed unless I can use it in BI Desktop. I shouldn't have to use a bunch of other tools

The november update allows us to display KPI. When can we create some KPIs in Power BI Desktop?

I appreciate that KPI's can now be exposed in a dashboard, however, being forced to use SSAS tabular, MD or Power Pivot is too complicated for most peoples needs. Why do I have to use 2 or more different tools to get a KPI?

It really needs to be part of the PBI Desktop.

I am experimenting with the customization synoptic visual, make an image with 5 boxes, each box is a color etc... No joy yet, but it's a great custom viz.

I need this too. A KPI visual right out of the box will be very useful to create powerful and meaningful dashboards.
