I'm trying to add a line break in a concatenated text strong and have tried
<br/>
"<br/>"
UNICHAR(10)
and cannot get it to work. Does anyone know how?
Here's the expression:
Last Refresh =
CONCATENATE("Last Refresh: " & FORMAT (MAX('Last Refresh Local Time'[Last Refresh Local Time]), "mm/dd/yyyy at HH:MM:SS")
& UNICHAR(10) &
"Latest Service Ticket: ", FORMAT(MAX('ServiceTicket'[Create Date]), "Short Date"))
This results in:
Last Refresh: 03/22/2018 at 13:54:12 Latest Service Ticket: 3/21/2018
I want:
Last Refresh: 03/22/2018 at 13:54:12
Latest Service Ticket: 3/21/2018
Thanks for any help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I finally figured this out! The formula I had was correct.
Last Refresh =
CONCATENATE("Last Refresh: " & FORMAT (MAX('Last Refresh Local Time'[Last Refresh Local Time]), "mm/dd/yyyy at HH:MM:SS")
& UNICHAR(10) &
"Latest Service Ticket: ", FORMAT(MAX('ServiceTicket'[Create Date]), "Short Date"))
However, in order to have it work, I had to go to the paint roller (format) section and turn Word Wrap ON.
Just to add to this thread, if using this (mad genius) technique in an x-measure, you just put in UNICHAR(10) in the delimiter field, as in,

Hi @Shelley ,
Where were you using this data?
Being able to use a linebreak like this would be useful for me too, but I'm trying to use it on a column which I'm using for an x axis for a visualisation.
I couldnt see a word wrap option for the x axis 😕
Hi @CYParker ,
Did you able to get solution for your problem?
If yes please let me know the solution.
Hi @Shelley,
Thanks for getting back to me and sharing what you learnt.
I was trying to get it to work for use in an X axis on a graph but it doesnt seem to work for that.
