How to make tile header size consistent

mismatch.png

This is an example from a dash I'm creating - the client would like the colored header size for the tiles to be uniform across them. 

 

The size bases off the Title in Format obviously, but I tried to cheat it by adding spaces, but that didn't work.  Spaxing also only goes to 10 px, so that didn't help.

 

Is there a way to fix this?

I'm adding the extra dashes via the subtitle. Do you not have that option?

Use the subtile option to add dashes - but set them to the same colour as the background.

So if your other item is 2 rows, add a subtitle with a single - in it 🙂

 

This is overkill but here I set the Title to a measure on each.

Used MAX to work out which is the longest, subtract the length of the current one away from the max.

Set this as my subtitle length.

I tried that with periods but even when I highlighted the periods but it changed the color of the entire header, I'll look into how to change just part of the header 

Ahh I'm using the visual title to assign a header. Properties -> General -> Title / Subtitle

That's where I'm at:  click on tile, Visualizations -> General -> Title

 

I can add more characters to the title to have it 3 text rows to be the same size, but even if I highlight onlt the additional characters in the Text box, when I go to change the Text Color, it applies to the entire text, not just what's highlighted.

I didn't even think of subtitle, I haven't used them before.

 

That works perfectly, thank you!
