separate lines in column data being mashed together when put into table
Hello all,
I have a column in Power BI called current entry. The data looks like this:
[Currententry]
Date: 1/17/2020
Subject: Snow
Text: Snow is great
I formatted the data to pull line by line in SQL so all the entries come in like that.
the problem is: when I drop [currententry] into the 'Table' visual all the data is being concatnated like this:
Date: 1/17/2020 Subject: Snow Text: Snow is great
is there a way to get the data to show like this using a table?

thank you
It works for me. See the query editor window for first 3 rows
The other option is to bring them as individual columns and concatenate them with UNICHAR(10) in DAX.

It would be easier to add line break in SQL and Power BI will automatically render the data in next line.
thats what I did, I added a line break in SQL and power bi is not rendering the data in the next line
