Keep spaces in column fields when using table/matrix

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm struggling to create my own indentation in a table visualisation.

I have a 'Description' Column with all my P&L Lines and an Indent column with numbers. I created a new column using Text.repeat(" ",[Indent]) function so as to indent each line using the number in Indent column.

This works well and each line appears with spaces before the name in the DATA tab of PowerBI Desktop.

However, whenever I use the new column in a table or matrix, powerbi automatically remove all spaces before the name. Therefore the indentation is not visible.

How to keep spaces before the name of the field ?

EDIT

From the example of thebiccountant

What I want is the left tab but I always get the right one :

This only works for a Table, not a Matrix.

For a Matrix, you need to go to Format > Row Headers > Text wrap

Thank you for this simple solution to this problem.  Saved me a lot of time.

Hi @Anonymous,

Please turn off the "Word Wrap" option under Format pane.

Best regards,

Thanks for your reply. It works well.

I was also able to bypass this behaviour by inserting a different kind of spaces (full width) : [　]
