Vertical Alignment in matrix or table visual

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I would like to vertically align my text in a matrix or table visual but i cant find how to do it.

The text should be around the black line;

Thankyou

They do that. They class a suggestion to put in a suggestion to PBI as 'solved'. Why do we even have to say it? Vertical Alignment, numerical column widths, ability to format ALL fields in a table at once; being able to lock individual elements on a page. Not all elements at once (used by who, when?). Probably the same guy using a nice gradient of blue as a useful conditional format :), etc. Simple stuff. They keep bringing out new 'features' that you know took hundreds of hours in development, and are usually worse than useless, but they can't fix this? Sorry, PBI rant. Almost a daily occurence now.

Nothing yet?

It's been several years now and Power BI still does not support cell content vertical alignment, a basic feature found in many other visual tools. This lack of support is causing users a great deal of frustration and making it difficult for them to create visually appealing reports.

In this day and age, it's unacceptable that such a crucial feature is still missing from Power BI. As a result, it makes it harder to sell Power BI as a viable solution to potential customers. It's time for Microsoft to step up and provide users with the necessary tools to create professional and visually appealing reports.

Please consider implementing cell content vertical alignment in a future update to Power BI. Your customers will greatly appreciate it.

It's really frustrating...

It's a common and basic feature.

I don't even understand why? Which can be the reason ? This feature is important for matrix, otherwise it brings confusion for the user. That's a windows 95 feature

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my research, it is not supported yet currently. There is an idea about that you can vote it up to make this feature coming sooner.

  NOT SOLVED
  There are multiple ideas for this enhancement.  Vote them ALL up and maybe Microsoft will get the message.  Here are a sampling of what I've found out there.

Create new Column, Pokemon_new=unichar(10)&Table[Pokeman] and then bring new column to table.

This adds a new line which is not the same as vertical alignment but it's something

Hi Frank!

Just want to check, is this feature still not currently supported?

Also, the idea post you provided refers to vertical alignment for textbox. Is there an idea post for matrix/ table visuals?

Thanks!

I also have the same question.

I am using Metrix and I want to align the values in centre which is by default top aligned. I can see there is option to align horizontally but not vertically.
