Word Cloud Separating Names

I'm using the word cloud extension to create a word cloud of names. Currently it's seperating first and last names (these are in the same column, not seperate columns). How do I keep the first and last names together?

Hi @marlirendell ,

You can create a calculated column as below to remove the spaces in Name field first, then put this new calculated column onto Word Cloud visual just like below screenshot. You can find the details in the attachment.

NewName = SUBSTITUTE ( 'Table'[Names], " ", "" )
