Text Box - Indents

Hi everyone.

 

Does anyone know how to or if you can do an indent in a text box.  I can do an indent by pressing tab when there is a bullet point but the line underneath the bullet point doesn't line up.  I'm trying to make it lone up but can't indent or tab across.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Vicki

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

If you want to do an indent in a text box, the data must have a hierarchical structure like this:

Then you can realise your demand in Matrix visual:

Thanks so much Yadong.  Unfortunaltely mine is literally text and not a list, although I might see if it works still.  Thank you.

Hi Yadong and sincere apologies that it has taken me so long to reply.  I managed to get a first line of bullet points to justify but I am still unable to justify the line of the secondary bullet point.  I've provided a snip shot of dummy data to give you an example.  This is within a text box on PBI.  I've provided the report as is for now so no urgency but if you do know how the text (not the actual bullet point itself) can be justified in line with the bullet point that would be amazing but understand it might not be something that can be achieved.  Thanks for your time. Vicki

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Can you share with me some screenshots of you so I can figure out your needs.

Thanks.  I did look at this before posting but sounds quite complex just to add in an indent to text that is in a text box already.  I'm a novice at PBI. 🙂
