[Rohini]

Hi  PBI Comm,

What is the DAX or M to add spaces or a tab (space) in front of a text value.

Hi @Rohini 

I m not clearly understand you needs but you can create a columns like

New column = " " & Table[OldColumn]

or 

New column = CONCATENATE( " ", Table[OldColumn])

or

New column = CONCATENATE(UNICHAR(32), Table[OldColumn])​

Hi @Rohini ,

For DAX, you could use the formulas that @az38 suggests. For M, you could try below:

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom1", each Text.Insert(Text.From([Column1]),2," "))

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each  "   " & [Column1])

And there is a thread about add space in the middle. You could reference to have a try,

If these can't help you, please share some sample data and expected output. We will understand clearly about your request.

Hi,

Write any of those as calculated column formulas (not as measures).
