Transform
The Transform card applies horizontal/vertical mirroring and free rotation to the shape.
Properties
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror Horizontal | Flip the shape along its vertical axis | Off |
| Mirror Vertical | Flip the shape along its horizontal axis | Off |
| Rotation (deg) | Rotation angle, 0–360°. Supports conditional formatting (fx). | 0 |
Why mirroring matters
The Triangle, Arrow and Chevron shapes are defined in a single canonical orientation (pointing right for arrow/chevron, pointing up for triangle). To get the other directions, combine mirroring and rotation:
| Desired direction | Mirror H | Mirror V | Rotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arrow → right | — | — | 0° |
| Arrow ← left | Yes | — | 0° |
| Arrow ↑ up | — | — | 270° |
| Arrow ↓ down | — | — | 90° |
| Triangle ▲ up | — | — | 0° |
| Triangle ▼ down | — | Yes | 0° |
Live rotation handle
In edit mode, hover the tile and a small rotation handle appears at the top of the shape. Drag it to rotate the tile in real time:
- The path's
transformattribute is updated continuously during the drag for instant visual feedback - On drop, the final angle is persisted via Power BI's
persistPropertiesAPI - The handle is hidden in view mode
You can also type the exact rotation in the slider, or drive it from a measure with the fx button.
