Building on what we covered in the previous instalment, where we added the air quality statement to the dashboard. We will add the thermometer image showing the current temperature. This visual uses the thermometer image file from the collection of Weather Dashboards icons that I have shared. You will need to download the file “Thermometer-Image.png” from the collection of icons

The following steps will tell you how to add the icon to the card.

• To open the insert menu, click Insert in the toolbar at the top of the Power BI Desktop window.
• Click on Image. The file explorer window will open.
• Navigate to where you saved the “Thermometer-Image.png” file and select that file.

Now we will format and position the button.

• Click the format button, at the far right-hand side of the Power BI Desktop window.
• Expand the size and style option on the visual tab in the format pane.
• We will now set the height, width, and position of the rectangle.
• Change the height in the Size and position options from the current value of 300 to 275 by clicking in the height box and entering the new value.
