Hello Power BI Community,
I hope everyone is doing well!
I’m currently working on a report with a table visual. I’m looking for an easy and elegant way to create additional space between specific rows (not all the rows across the whole table) without creating a separate table.
Does anyone have suggestions or best practices for achieving this? I would appreciate any tips you can share.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi @Emma_
In Power BI, a value can’t be assigned to a row that doesn’t exist, even if the intended value is blank. That blank row has to exist first. One way to handle this is to add a dimension table that includes an explicit blank row, like in the example below. The category column also needs a custom sort; otherwise, the blank row will always appear first.
Use this dimension table in the visual and ensure that Show items with no data is enabled
Please see the attached pbix.
