Last August (2018) ,data categories for measures was introduced by Power BI desktop team .This is a brilliant feature as it introduces possibilities of creating complex visualisation using SVG. This is also great KPI and sparklines workaround.My issue is that it does not work with Live connection (SQL Server/Analysis Service) (Image URL greyed out). Several organisation use their reports through live connection to tabular model. This also resolves dynamic KPI threshold issue which is a limitation in tabular model
Please see http://www.mssqlgirl.com/dynamic-kpi-threshold-in-tabular-or-power-pivot.html
Enabling image URL when connecting LIve will be a big win-win situation for both Power BI users and Power BI desktop team.

This is important to manage KPI thresholds in real-word scenarios (not just toy examples)...
