Applies to:  Microsoft Report Builder (SSRS)  Power BI Report Builder  Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools

The preconfigured indicators sets that provide for paginated reports might not always depict your data effectively and work well in the delivered report. This article provides procedures to change the appearance of indicator icons and change the indicator sets to include different, more, or fewer indicator icons.

Options such as colors can be set by using expressions. For more information, see Expressions (Report Builder).

    Optionally, select the Expression (fx) button to edit an expression that sets the value of the Color option.
