Table - space between specific rows

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
