Expand/Collapse data within a single cell in a table in Power BI

Hi Team, 

We have larger text data in a particular cell value. We wanted to see only some part of data and expand only the ones that we wish to see (i.e kind of Accordion table visualization). Can you suggest how can we implement this. 

 

Regards,

Anusha

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your description, I create a sample.

If you means in the column1 row6, you only want to show PQR, not PQR123, you can use Split Column in PowerQuery.

In this sample, I select Split Column By Digit to Non-Digit, and get the new two columns.

Please refer the below as an example. We have text data only which is larger and trying to see only some part of data for each row and expand it to see the complete data only for few selected ones.
