Hello,
Is there any way to add leading space(s) before a measure name in matrix visual? I'm trying to replicate a excel sheet as shown below using matrix visual. Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
RB
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @rbhattacharya

Table:
Measure:
Measure = " "&MAX('Table'[Name])
When 'Word wrap' is on:
When 'Word wrap' is off:

I know this is a late reply, but for anyone searching for workaround to this, just insert a blank Braille block character and in PowerBI it looks like a space. Just copy the space between the following quotes and paste it into your report and PowerBI shows a space. "⠀"
