Icon sets for table and matrix


The top request on our Ideas site is for KPI icons for reports, and we are excited to release our first step for
this work, icon sets for our table and matrix visual.
This feature will let you set up rules for showing different sets of icons to show in your table and matrix, very
similar to the Icon Sets feature in Excel.

You can turn on icons for your table or matrix just like any other conditional formatting feature, either through
the contextual menu for the field you want to apply it to or through the conditional formatting card in the
formatting pane.

When you turn on Icons, the default rules will apply a red diamond to the lower 33% of your data, a yellow
triangle to the middle 33%, and a green circle to the upper 33%.

For each rule you can set the range based on an absolute number or a percent. You can also customize the
icon for each rule with any of the icons we support in our icon picker.

In addition to adjusting current rules, you can add new rules to the list using the New rule button and swap
the order of the icons in all the rules with one click using the Reverse icon order button.

In this dialog, you can also change the field used to generate the icons, just like in other forms of conditional
formatting. You can also choose, using the Icon layout dropdown, if the icon shows to the left or right of the
numbers showing in the cell or if the icons should replace the numbers all together.

You can also control the icon alignment, switching between top, middle, and bottom alignment.
