Carriage Returns / concatenated text
Hi,
Does anyone know if we can add a carrage return and have it function in a text block in the visualization.
The goal
------------
Field_A & " - " & Field_B & Carrage Return & Field_C
Outcome
------------
Dog - Cat
Horse
Can't seem to find a thread where someone was successfull.
Cheers

Hi @svella , if you want the effect reported in the image below, you have to select "wrap text": ON in the visual card properties.
I used the DAX formula
Thanks,

Use #(lf) inside your quotations
Field_A & "#(lf)" & Field_B
Just reverse what you would do if you were splitting the column.

I have the same problem, I would like to add a "Carriage return" to concatenated text. Could you please let me know if/when you find a solution to the problem?
Many thanks,

UNICHAR(10) works but doesn't appear to do anything for the visual and also causes line breaks in a csv export.

Check that. If you turn on "Word wrap" in Values, it'll wrap those values in the table view according the break code. Nice.

In DAX, , you just need to use "Alt + Enter" to type "Carriage Return". However, "Carriage Return" can't be displayed in visual. It always appear in a line. You can see the actual field when you hover on the data field.
Column = Table2[NAME]& " " &Table2[id]

Hi Simon,
Yes I use that technique for the code lines but I am looking for it to show visually. I assume at this point their isnt a way to
add one to appear in the visuals ?
thanks

Currently, it's not supported to display the Carriage Returns within cells in visual.
Regards,
