Great — Power BI it is. Below I’ll show exactly how to recreate the two effects from your screenshot in a Power BI Table visual:

Data bars inside the Yearly Salary cells (bar + numeric value).
Icons for Experience (Entry / Mid / Senior / Intern).

I give two approaches for the icons (recommended: helper numeric column + icon conditional formatting; alternative: Unicode symbol measure + color rules). Follow the steps exactly in Power BI Desktop.

Prep: data basics

Make sure YearlySalary is a numeric column (data type = Decimal Number or Whole Number). If it’s text like "$82,000", convert it in Power Query or with DAX to a number.
Make sure Experience is a text column with consistent values (Entry, Mid, Senior, Intern).

Part A — Add Data Bars to Yearly Salary (recommended / simple)

Put a Table visual on the report canvas and add the fields you want (JobID, JobTitle, JobType, Department, Experience, YearlySalary).
In the Visualizations → Values area, click the dropdown arrow on YearlySalary → Conditional formatting → Data bars.
In the Data bars dialog:
- Format by: Rules (Power BI will expose min/max options) or leave default.
- Set Minimum and Maximum if you want a fixed scale (e.g., Min = 40000, Max = 150000). Otherwise use Min and Max (auto).
- Choose Bar color (pick the blue you want).
- Toggle Show bar only = Off so the numeric value still displays (this gives the bar + value like your screenshot).
- Optionally enable a border or negative bar color if needed.
Click OK. The table will now show a left-to-right bar in each YearlySalary cell proportional to the number, with the currency value shown at the right.

Tips:

If your YearlySalary is formatted as a number but displays as $82,000, set the column Format to Currency in the Modeling tab so that the value and bar look correct.
To fix the scale across pages, explicitly set Min/Max numbers in the Data bars dialog.

Part B — Add Icons for Experience (recommended approach: helper numeric column + Icon conditional formatting)

Power BI’s icon formatting works best with numeric rules, so use a helper column that maps text → numbers, then show an icon column in the table (you can hide the helper column if you like).

1) Create a mapping column (DAX)

In Modeling → New column (assuming your table is named Jobs):

ExpCode = 
SWITCH(
  TRUE(),
  Jobs[Experience] = "Intern", 1,
  Jobs[Experience] = "Entry", 2,
  Jobs[Experience] = "Mid",   3,
  Jobs[Experience] = "Senior",4,
  BLANK()
)

2) Add the helper column to the Table visual

Add ExpCode to the visual immediately to the left or right of the Experience column.

3) Apply Icon conditional formatting to ExpCode

In Visualizations → Values, click dropdown on ExpCode → Conditional formatting → Icons.
In the Icons dialog:
- Format by: Rules.
- Based on field: ExpCode.
- Create rules mapping number → icon. Example (set Type = Number for thresholds):
  - If value is >= 1 and < 2 → choose icon shape for Intern (e.g., small diamond).
  - If value is >= 2 and < 3 → triangular icon for Entry.
  - If value is >= 3 and < 4 → circle icon for Mid.
  - If value is >= 4 → circle or another icon for Senior.
- Choose Show icon only if you want only the icon visible in that column (hide numeric).
Click OK.

4) Hide or shrink ExpCode

Either remove the column from the visual after creating an icon (if you want the icon over the Experience text, use the Unicode approach below), or keep it as a narrow column showing icons next to the Experience text.
You can reduce the column width and hide the header (right-click header → turn off header) for a tighter look.

Part B - Alternative icon method (no numeric helper): Unicode symbol + color rules

Use this if you want the icon and text in the same column.

1) Create a measure (or calculated column) that returns a symbol

Measure (Modeling → New measure):

ExpIcon = 
VAR e = SELECTEDVALUE(Jobs[Experience])
RETURN
SWITCH(
  e,
  "Entry", UNICHAR(9650),    // ▲
  "Mid",   UNICHAR(9679),    // ●
  "Senior",UNICHAR(9679),    // ● (or another code)
  "Intern",UNICHAR(9670),    // ◆
  ""
)

Or create a calculated column that returns UNICHAR(...) & " " & Jobs[Experience] so symbol + text appear in same column.

2) Add the new measure/column to the Table visual

Add the measure/column (ExpIcon) to the visual. If it’s a measure, add it as a column so it shows per row.

3) Format the symbol column

Set font family to a symbol-friendly font (Sego UI Symbol or default often works).
Use Conditional formatting → Font color on the symbol column:
- Format by: Rules.
- Based on the Experience field (or the measure).
- Define rules: Experience = "Entry" → yellow, Mid → green, Senior → purple, Intern → red.
This will color the icon appropriately. If you created a combined “symbol + text” column, the entire text will get colored — you can use two separate columns (icon column colored, text column normal) for more control.

Polishing & final touches

Alternate row shading: In the table visual formatting pane → Grid → set Alternate row color.
Alignment: Set cell alignment in Values → Column formatting (center icons, right-align salaries).
Fixed data bar scale: Set Data bars min/max to fixed numbers to keep the relative lengths consistent between pages.
Hide helper columns: If you used a numeric helper column purely for icon formatting, make it narrow and/or hide the header to mimic the screenshot.
Sort & drill: Keep YearlySalary numeric so sorting and aggregation work correctly.

Quick summary (what you’ll end up with)

Yearly Salary: numeric column + Conditional formatting → Data bars (bar + value).
Experience icons: either
- Helper ExpCode (DAX) + Conditional formatting → Icons on ExpCode (recommended), or
- Unicode symbol measure/column + conditional font color rules (if you want icon and text in same cell).

If you want, I can:

produce the exact DAX calculated column and measure tailored to your real table/column names, or
give a short step-by-step screenshot flow for your Power BI version (I’ll assume Desktop latest).

Which would you like next?

Good catch — thanks for the screenshot. You’re right: Power BI does let you use icon conditional formatting directly with categorical/text fields when you use the Rules format. My previous answer was an oversimplification; let me correct and explain exactly what the dialog is doing and why it accepts a categorical field.

Short answer

Yes, you can drive Icons from a categorical/text column if you choose Format style = Rules and write text-comparison rules (e.g. If value is Intern then diamond).
The earlier statement that “icons require numeric fields” is true for the predefined numeric icon-set style (the threshold-based icon sets that compare numeric ranges). But Rules allow text comparisons.

What the dialog in your screenshot means (field-by-field)

Format style → Rules
You are writing explicit rules (text or numeric comparisons), not using numeric buckets. Rules support is, is not, contains, does not contain, starts with, ends with, and numeric operators when the field is numeric.
Apply to → Values only
Where the formatting will appear (values, totals, or both).
What field should we base this on?
The field whose value will be evaluated by the rules. It can be a text (categorical) field (like experience) or a numeric field. If that field is not present in the visual, Power BI will use the summarized value (see Summarization).
Summarization → First (or Sum, Min, etc.)
When a field has multiple values for the same visual cell (because of aggregation or grouping), this determines which value is used for the rule. For categorical fields First or Last are commonly used.
Icon layout / Icon alignment
Where the icon appears relative to the cell text (left/right/top) and how it aligns.
Style → Custom
Lets you choose which icon graphic to use for each rule (diamond, triangle, circle, etc.) and pick colors.
Rules section (the rows you created)
Each rule is evaluated and when a rule matches, the chosen icon is applied. Example rows in your screenshot:
- If value is Intern → red diamond
- If value is Entry → yellow triangle
- If value is Mid → green circle
- If value is Senior → purple circle
Important: rules are evaluated in order, and the first matching rule is applied. If nothing matches, no icon (or a default) is shown.

Why this works for categorical fields

Because you are using Rules, Power BI isn’t trying to compute numeric thresholds — it simply compares the value (text) to the rule (e.g., is "Intern"). So it can evaluate text directly and map text → icon.

Practical tips & caveats

If your visual groups or aggregates rows, set Summarization carefully (First/Last) so the rule uses the correct row value.
Comparisons are generally case-insensitive, but keep values consistent to avoid mismatch (e.g., Intern vs intern).
If you want the icon next to the Experience text in the same column, you can:
- Use this approach and set Icon layout = Left of data so icon appears to left of the text in that same Experience column (make sure “Apply to” targets that column).
- Or create a separate narrow column for icons (e.g., ExpIcon) and hide the header for a tighter look.
If you need numeric-style icon rules (≥, ≤, range buckets) use a numeric field (or create an ExpCode numeric column) and still choose Format style = Rules.
If you want only the icon to show (no number/text), choose Show icon only in the conditional formatting options.

Step-by-step to reproduce what you have in the screenshot

Place the Experience column into your Table visual.
Click the dropdown next to Experience in Visualizations → Conditional formatting → Icons.
Set Format style = Rules.
What field should we base this on? = experience.
Summarization = First (or whichever makes sense).
For each row in Rules:
- Select operator is
- Enter the category text (Intern, Entry, Mid, Senior)
- Pick the desired icon and color on the right.
Set Icon layout and Icon alignment per your preference.
Click OK.

If you want, I can:

produce the exact rule list (copyable) that matches your screenshot, or
show how to combine icon-only column + text column so the icon sits tightly left of the experience text.

Which of those would help you next?
