Add space tab Dax
Hi PBI Comm,
What is the DAX or M to add spaces or a tab (space) in front of a text value.
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,

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