DAX code

Progress Bar =
VAR PercentComplete = [Target vs Actual Achievement %]
VAR FilledBlocks = ROUND(PercentComplete * 10, 0)
RETURN
    REPT("█", FilledBlocks) & REPT("░", 10 - FilledBlocks)

Notes

Depends on the Target vs Actual Achievement % measure from this library; render the result in a table with a monospaced font for even spacing.
