Hi,
In below table,last column shows the summary which is a big paragraph for every contract.
Is there any way , I can show only first line of paragraph & than give a More Info+ button to see the rest of the summary.
If not More Info+ button than, at least a simple maximize minimize button, if the user wants to see he will open that.
Regards,
Ashraf
@ashraf_SISL1 in past I create two table visuals, one on the top without big paragraph and 2nd table visual on the same page with paragraph column, so when users select a row in a top table visual, it will show paragraph at the bottom, it is much cleaner look (in my opinion), and you can hide paragraph table visual and only show when a row in a top table visual is selected, you can use this technique to hide 2nd table visual.
Just an idea.

You can create a what-if parameter table like below.
Next, create a measure like below that will enable you to switch between both states and manipulate the length of the string
Product Description =
VAR __productDescription = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Product'[ProductDescription] )
RETURN
SWITCH(
SELECTEDVALUE( showHideProductDesc[showHideProductDesc] ),
0, LEFT( __productDescription, 10 ) & "...",
1, __productDescription
)
Finally, add the measure to the table and use the slider to switch between the options, as below.
Full
Short
@Mariusz What u mean by "what-if parameter table " , we can just create a parameter not table.
Request you to please describe.
Thanks...
Sorry for not being clear enough, the below screenshot will explain what I meant by the "what-if parameter table".
The above will create a table that later you can expand with an extra column with if statement like.
Show Short or Full Description = IF( showHideProductDesc[showHideProductDesc] = 0, "Short", "Full")
And later just add the measure provided in my previous post.
@ashraf_SISL1 He means create a table as per the image he showed.

@ashraf_SISL1 , you can change the content of the measure . So you have two kinds of fields and do it.
Or use the bookmark to Switch table
