The one with Font Awesome icons.

I am a regular visitor to Shad Frigui’s Github  page. He did a post  a while back about alcohol consumption, in which he utilized a “point” mark with a SVG path for the bottle.
We all love our icons and adding it to PowerBI just got a lot easier, with the help of Deneb Custom Visual and Font Awesome’s SVG path for their icons.

  Dataset

You don’t need any dataset for this visual

  Measures created

I created one measure to add to Deneb custom visual.

  • Value = 1

  Fields used

  • Value

  Steps to follow

Step 1

Step 2

  • Search for the icon you would like to use.

Step 3

  • Once you found the icon, click on the icon, and select “copy svg path” from the icons at the top.

Step 4

  • Paste the svg path in a text editor of your choice, and delete everything except the path section.
    • The path section is from after the <path d=" to "/></svg>.

      <svg xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg” viewBox=”0 0 576 512”><path d=”M575.8 255.5c0 18-15 32.1-32 32.1h-32l.7 160.2c0 >2.7-.2 5.4-.5 8.1V472c0 22.1-17.9 40-40 40H456c-1.1 0-2.2 0-3.3-.1c-1.4 .1-2.8 .1-4.2 .1H416 392c-22.1 0-40-17.9-40-40V448 384c0-17.7-14.>3-32-32-32H256c-17.7 0-32 14.3-32 32v64 24c0 22.1-17.9 40-40 40H160 128.1c-1.5 0-3-.1-4.5-.2c-1.2 .1-2.4 .2-3.6 .2H104c-22.1 0-40-17.>9-40-40V360c0-.9 0-1.9 .1-2.8V287.6H32c-18 0-32-14-32-32.1c0-9 3-17 10-24L266.4 8c7-7 15-8 22-8s15 2 21 7L564.8 231.5c8 7 12 15 11 24z”/></svg>
