Need guidance on how to handle the dynamic text alignment based on selected value

[Anonymous]

Can someone please guide me how to change the text alignment based on selectedvalue.

In report , I have Language Type slicer which has Hebrew,Engligh etc. and we have table with question and responses which need to aligned based on language Type.
In case of Hebrew, text should be aligned from right to left as they read and write from right to left. However, english should be from left to right.

Also, is there a way to change the direction of text and not reverse the text. (SQL solution will also help )
For example :
Text :This is test report
Output : report test is this 

Thanks in Advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Power BI Desktop does not support this feature at the moment. Please vote here: Right to left full support 

You can only change the order in Power Query. I have alse found a video about it, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

Use PowerQuery to Change the Order of Cell Values or Text

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please refer to my pbix file to see if it helps you.

Firstly, spilt the column.

Then Unpivot the columns.

Thirdly, Added index.

Fourthly, sort rows.

Then transpose the table.

And next is removing top rows.

Then change the type to text.

Finally, select all the columns and then right click to choose merge columns.

Or please refer to my code.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCsnILFYAopLU4hKFotSC/KISpdhYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [column = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"column", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "column", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"column.1", "column.2", "column.3", "column.4"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"column.1", type text}, {"column.2", type text}, {"column.3", type text}, {"column.4", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type1", {}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Added Index",{"Attribute", "Index", "Value"}),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Reordered Columns",{{"Index", Order.Descending}}),
    #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Sorted Rows"),
    #"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Transposed Table",2),
    #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Top Rows",{{"Column1", type text}}),
    #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(#"Changed Type2",{"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged")
in
    #"Merged Columns"

If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide your pbix file without privacy information and desired output.

Hello @Anonymous , Thanks very much for your response.
Actually, I have to do this for one particular language (Hebrew) and also apply right alignment on column. I was thinking if we can do something with DAX measure where I can just write if Hebrew language is selected then transform the text and also apply right alignment .

In report , I have Language Type filter and Table chart.

Please let me know if we can achieve using this approach .
I really appreciate your time and effort.
Thanks a lot

@Anonymous , I doubt we have control of text alignment based on the selection

Thanks for your response @amitchandak . 
I will take a look the link you have shared .Basically, I want to avoid creating bookmark (we have more than 10  langauges ) and achieve this in existing report.

Any idea about the below request 
Also, is there a way to change the direction of text and not reverse the text. (SQL solution will also help )
For example :
Text :This is test report
Output : report test is this 

Thanks,
Sarika
