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!

So surprised this is not a feature already, seems like a no brainer!

Please bring more than just KPI red/yellow/green, but Icon sets similar to what is available in Excel, and is available in Power View.

As a data manager for an educational company, usng this tool is fantastic but needs conditional formatting. Please consider including this into PowerBI

This feature is definitely missing. Need simple visual (table, matrix) with possibility to add simple icons (up/down and icon for no chage).

Work in online education company with many Excel based tools that include conditional format icon sets. PowerPivot/PowerView also supports 5 icon sets with KPI's. Please include all conditional format Icon Sets in Excel into PowerBI.

I work in a healthcare environment and everybody asks for trend indicators (green arrow up, red arrow down, blue arrow even)

Yes, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE at the very least give us the same capability we've had in SSAS for over a decade. KPI definitions are lightweight but present in Power Pivot and SSAS Tabular. Seems like an easy add for Power BI.

See: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/16939561-kpi-icon-sets-for-use-in-table-and-matrix-visualiz. Please give us KPIs. We have them in Power Pivot, SSAS Tabular and they've been in SSAS MD for many years. Why not in Power BI?

yes, especially for service health type dashboards. integration of the image url's into conditional formatting would be a plus as well.
