Hi,
I want to determine the width of matrix-columns, which are added/ deleted by the user. The "0000000"- solution does not work as some names are longer, others are shorter.
I am trying to shorten or lengthen a the namesdepending on the number of chars.
So far I´ve created a column in Power Query "Text.PadEnd([#"Column"],15,"X")".
Now in DAX I want to shorten Texts to 15 Chars AND Replace "X" with the corresponding number of Unichars.
How do I do that? Sth. like:
Solved! Go to Solution.
So a custom column like this?
Text.Replace(Text.Start([Column], 15), "X", Character.FromNumber(173))
With that I meant "Tricking" PowerBI into using a certain number of charactes as column width, then switching auto-width off and having all columns exactly the same width.
Thank you!
Yes...but: Don't I have to do the transformation in Dax - otherwise the "empty spaces" are deleted?
My goal is to have a column with names having a length of 15 chars, so that I can trick a matrix visual in having similar-length columns. The "000000"-trick is not possible since a user adds columns to compare companies.
You can do it in DAX with the same logic.
SUBSTITUTE ( LEFT ( Table1[Column], 15 ), "X", UNICHAR ( 173 ) )
I'm not sure what the "000000"-trick is.
So a custom column like this?
Text.Replace(Text.Start([Column], 15), "X", Character.FromNumber(173))
