I attempted to do that when I first set up the gauges, but the component wouldn't accept a min or max value in the negative range. My path to that solution is here: > [@Change direction of simple gauge](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/change-direction-of-simple-gauge/108377): > > I have a simple 1/2 circle gauge, and am trying to change it so that rather than filling clockwise, as is the current standard build in direction, it fills counterclockwise instead. I'm going from -6 on the left to 0 on the right. I want the start point of the fill to be at zero, and fill counter clockwise going down towards -6. If I change my min and max values so that the -6 is "max" and 0 is "min", the gauge component becomes extremely small rather than staying at the 1/2 circle size. If I… I'm not quite sure how to make a value change transformation work, because this data is being fed in live from a device that outputs from -6 to 14. The right side of my gauge correctly reads and displays the positive values like I want. Then I essentially need the left side to ignore any positive values coming in, read the negative values, then translate those into a "reverse" (ie -3 becomes 3) so that they can be displayed by the fill on the gauge. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/showing-data-on-a-reversed-component/108547)._
