Force Column Headers To Wrap to Next Line

Hi,

Is it possible to force Table visual Column Headers to wrap to next line?
In Excel we can write a formula like ="Cat" & char(10) & "Dog" to get

Cat
Dog

Can we do something similar in Power BI
I have some room to use that would make the header look nicer.

Thanks,

Hi @UncleLewis 

I am afraid of that is not possible to get with a formula. As a workaround, you can drag the column, then it will wrap accordingly.

Hi, Try this 

Test1 = "CAT" & UNICHAR(10) & "DOG"

Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I selected one of the fields in the Matrix and clicked on rename for this visual.

I entered the suggested text above, but it is simply displaying all of the text.

Thanks,

Hi @UncleLewis , Sorry I read your question wrong. It's not something that you could do in a renamce column. It's a measure so is row based.
