6 months agoForcing text on rows extend to more than one row
Hello, I need ideas on how to make the text on the column extend to the next 2 rows on the right instead of wrapping on single column. Is that possible?

Column spanning across adjacent cells is not supported in Power BI's native Table or Matrix visual, cells cannot merge horizontally the way they do in Excel or paginated reports.
If the requirement is strict layout control with text spanning columns, Paginated Reports (Report Builder / RDL) support full cell merging via tablix cell properties. You can right-click a cell → Merge Cells across as many columns as needed.

1. Click the Visual -> Go to Format visual -> Disable Auto-size width
