Hi PBI Comm,
What is the DAX or M to add spaces or a tab (space) in front of a text value.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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,
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Find-a-string-add-a-space-in-the-middle/m-p/714533
If these can't help you, please share some sample data and expected output. We will understand clearly about your request.
