@BIswajit_Das  If I understand correctly, just use CONCATENATE and put as many spaces you need in the second text argument:

Finally found a way :

In order to append extra spaces according to our requirement

we can use the following DAX mentioned below

i.e

RESPONSE_C =
VAR currentValue = 'table'[column]
VAR currentLength =
    LEN ( CONVERT ( currentValue, STRING ) )
VAR extraSpaces = 10 - currentLength // change 10 according to our requirement.
VAR prefix =
    REPT ( UNICHAR ( 0160 ), extraSpaces )
RETURN
    "" & prefix & ""
        & currentValue

I've got it it's in the matrix column header setting

We've have to disable Text wrap and enable Auto-size width

in-order to acheive my requirement.

Thanks you...

@bchager6  Thanks for responding but it's not working

If you check it using a matrix you'll see that the spaces are ignored.
