Indentation table template from Excel not loading

[kram1234]

Hi,

I try to add a Excel-template with a hiërarchie for a "Cost-overview". But when I try to load the template in Power BI, the indentation is gone (I know about switching off "Word Wrap").

It should be like the (Excel-) picture below. See my files here: PBIX and Excel-template

Hi @jbwtp ,

You are right. The indentation is not space-generated. I changed it to space-generated instead of using "Increase Indent" in Excel, now it's fine.

Thanks for this pretty easy solution 🙂

Hi @kram1234,

I can't load your files, but I guess the identation is not space-generated, this is rather formatting in Excel?

I just had to sort the same issue. The problem is that PBI does not care about cells meta-data (including formatting) and only take the actual value of the cell.

I worked around it with a macro that would analise the identation and create a separate column to record the identation level, which then can be used in PBI.

Kind regards,

John
