Add leading spaces to create indentation effect for matrix visual

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

Hi, @rbhattacharya 

 

I'd like to suggest you go to 'Visualizations'=>'Format'=>'Values'=>make 'Word wrap' off. I created data to reproduce your scenario.

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.  "⠀"
