    Hi Giada90 

    Power BI doesnot support importing custom shapes for conditional formatting and limited to the built-in icons like circles, arrows, flags in table or matrix visuals.

    If you need different shapes, the workarounds are by using unicode symbols through a DAX measure, using images or icons via image URL

    hi Giada90 

    Instead of using a custom shape, a good alternative is a DAX-generated SVG measure designed to mimic the same appearance, while allowing the color to change dynamically based on conditions. This can be displayed in an image visual using a measure, eliminating the need to upload and manage static image files. One approach is to use AI to help generate the DAX SVG code, then refine it through some trial and error until the output looks and behaves as intended.
