If the measure / calculated field would support image urls you could do quick and dirty KPI based on a DAX expression

Indicator = IF(SUM ( Dashboard[Lead Paid Count]) < 100, "https://redarrow.png", "https://greenarrow.png"))

RE: Calculated field support image url

Yes, just stumbled upon this challenge. Not being able to format the measure as url is highly limiting. Fully dynamic traffic lights (RAG status) is the need behind. So, it this is difficult to implement, consider also adding additional parameter to your KPI visual (at the moment only possible to have a target, but without additional threshold RAG is not possible to achieve). Tx!

Really need this. Almost becoming impossible to create RAG out of Measure!

Really need this, it would make a massive difference to the tool. Right now KPI's are being ignored by a tool that's supposed to be centred around data and impact

This feature would be great. It would give freedom to create kpi and other visual information.
