Issues with Text Wrap
I have a table visual where the text wrap in a column is turned on. However, there is an issue with carriage returns being automatically inserted when the column size decreases:
When I increase the size of the column width, the carriage returns are gone. I checked the text and I don't see any ascii values. I only see the returns with the dynamic sizing of the column. Expanding the width of the column is not the option I want due to lack of real estate on the table.
How do I correct the text formatting?
Hi z_mike_90
Given you've mentioned that you have open the text wrap.
So I speculate that maybe there are some non-visible characters in your data, although you mentioned not seeing any ASCII values, it might be helpful to double-check your data for any non-visible characters that could be interpreted as carriage returns. Sometimes, data imported from external sources can contain hidden characters.
Maybe you can try this function in power query which returns a text value with all control characters of removed:
Text.Clean()Text.Clean - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Learn
