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!

As @Haegi mentioned, check out the Card with States custom visual that was released 10/18.

Was easily done in Power View. Got Lost in the conversion?

I need this, and also need to be able to use colors within tables of information to highlight data elements.

Hello,

I thinks a preview is now available with the latest version of PowerBI Desktop

Would be pretty useful if the text colour of a KPI is related to a defined goal setting, i.E. having a goal "0" and if the shown value is 20, it will be green, if it is -10 it will be displayed red.

A general traffic light indication that allows up to 5 indications (using 4 break points) as was available in Excel would make sense. We should be able to configure colours for the various stages and change the symbol as well.

This feature is a must and without it in Power BI definitely takes away from all of the other new features in Power BI. Even Power View has KPIs now.

Hability to create KPI like in PowerPivot for Excel is a must. Also, KPI graphics like stoplight and/or red/green arrows would be great.
