@Anonymous , The option I can see in the table is align all columns together not for each one.

Hi Guys,

Is there any formula to change the alignment for few row headers as Center and for Few row headers as Left?

Kindly guide.

Thanks.

Hi @mon ,

 

In this case you would need to do the new coluns with the variations you would need something similar to this:

Cat Alignment = 
SWITCH ('Table'[cat] ,
 "A",REPT( UNICHAR(8192),10) & 'Table'[cat], 
"B", 'Table'[cat],
 "C",REPT( UNICHAR(8192),10) & 'Table'[cat])

 

This would give you different spacings for each value. On the settings you cannot set up a row value at a time.

 

For columns you have that option since you can setup each of the columns separatly.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

On the matrix options go to Field formatting and then select the alignment apply to header option must be active:

You can format each column individually.

@MFelix ,

 

Thanks, but its only available for columns from 'Value' section. I wanted to modify alignment from 'Row Hedear ' section columns. I think it's not available it in Power bi. Either we can do it same for ALL columns from row header section. It's not giving option toodify it individually.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You are correct I missread the title, one option can be to create a new column with the following code:

 

Cat Alignment = IF('Table'[cat] = "A",REPT( UNICHAR(8192),10) & 'Table'[cat], 'Table'[cat])
 
Has you can see below the A moves forward by 10 spaces:

Giving the sense of center alignment, you can optimize this by change the number of repts by a dinamic number.
