Currently, Power BI does not support manual line breaks in column headers for Table and Matrix visuals. Attempts to insert line breaks using ALT + ENTER, UNICHAR(10), or other newline characters are ignored. This limits the ability to format headers efficiently, especially when trying to save horizontal screen space or improve readability in compact layouts.
Suggested Improvement:
Enable support for manual line breaks in column headers, either through:
- Recognizing ALT + ENTER during column renaming
- Supporting UNICHAR(10) or similar in DAX expressions used as headers
- Providing a formatting option in the visual settings to insert line breaks
This feature would greatly enhance layout flexibility and improve the user experience when designing reports with limited space.
