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!

Available in Table and Matrix?

How is it that the icon for the KPI visual shows an up/down green/red arrow and yet, the icon that shows up is instead a red exclamation point or green checkmark?!

Conditional formatting options for date fields is highly requested.

Would be nice to be able to format the background color based on dates.
Ex : today-7 days : orange / More than seven days ago : red

Please Make sure this is included in the Power BI Desktop report server version as well as added to function on the report server also. This is often missed when you guys make updates since the non report server power bi desktop pbix's don't function on report server.

It Will be very useful if this color Red/Yellow/Green indicators can be put behind of the Line or Bubble charts as border for the chart Cones the same as we have possibilities in Excel Combo Chart

Hi Will - it's a must have feature for us - we have designed a simple dashboard with our KPIs and simply want to show if we are positive growth or negative growth for the time period

I solved all my KPI problems when a measure could be set as a URL image and now with the latest updates in conditional formatting too. But it still would be interesting to have a built in feature.
