Text List in Visual in Power BI Desktop

I'm new to Power BI so maybe I'm just missing something here but... I have a column of dimensions and I want to display that in a visual so that it looks like a list. I can do this easily in Tableau but just adding the data field to the Text Marks card (pictured).  Can I replicate this in PBI? 

 

Ideally, the data would read left to right. And also be wrappable to auto adjust when sized on the report. So I haven't been able to figure out how to use a Table or Matrix to replicate this. 

 

Any ideas?

You could create a measure like

Dimension values = CONCATENATEX( 'Dim Table', 'Dim Table'[Column], " ")

and then put that in a card visual

hi - could you share the power bi file with sample data? I tried this but the list of names still come as continous when the column is expanded. It should show in a new row for each new name

Hi,

Did the concatenax help to add the text list one below the other? I tried the solution but it does not look good unlike in tableau where the list looks good for each text in a new row.

Thanks
