Is there a way to add line breaks in a string of text in Microsoft's DAX language?

In Microsoft's Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) language, you can use the UNION function to concatenate strings with line breaks. The UNION function is typically used to combine two or more tables, but it can also be used for concatenating strings.

Here's an example:

MyConcatenatedString = "Line 1" & UNICHAR(10) & "Line 2" & UNICHAR(10) & "Line 3"

In this example, UNICHAR(10) represents the line feed character, which is used for line breaks in DAX. You can include it between the lines of text you want to concatenate.

When you use this expression in a calculated column or a measure, it will create a single string with line breaks between the specified lines. Adjust the content and structure based on your specific needs.

Examples

  1. "DAX line break in text string"

    • Code Implementation:
      "First Line" & UNICHAR(10) & "Second Line"
    • Description: Use the UNICHAR(10) function to add a line break (newline) in a DAX text string.

  2. "DAX concatenate with line break"

    • Code Implementation:
      CONCATENATE("First Line", UNICHAR(10), "Second Line")
    • Description: Concatenate text strings with CONCATENATE function and include a line break using UNICHAR(10).

  3. "DAX newline character in string"

    • Code Implementation:
      "Line 1" & CHAR(13) & CHAR(10) & "Line 2"
    • Description: Use CHAR(13) and CHAR(10) to represent carriage return and line feed characters for a line break.

  4. "DAX text with line break"

    • Code Implementation:
      "Hello" & REPT(UNICHAR(10), 2) & "World"
    • Description: Repeat UNICHAR(10) (line break) multiple times using REPT to create line breaks in a text string.

  5. "DAX concatenate with new line"

    • Code Implementation:
      "Item 1" & "\n" & "Item 2"
    • Description: Use the escape sequence \n to represent a newline character in a DAX text string.

  6. "DAX add line break to column"

    • Code Implementation:
      Table[Column] & UNICHAR(10) & "Additional Text"
    • Description: Append a line break to a column value within a DAX expression.

  7. "DAX line break in measure"

    • Code Implementation:
      Measure = "Value 1" & UNICHAR(10) & "Value 2"
    • Description: Define a measure with a text string containing a line break using UNICHAR(10).

  8. "DAX newline in string literal"

    • Code Implementation:
      "First Line Second Line"
    • Description: Use a newline character directly in a string literal for a line break in DAX.

  9. "DAX text function line break"

    • Code Implementation:
      SUBSTITUTE("Hello|World", "|", UNICHAR(10))
    • Description: Use the SUBSTITUTE function to replace a delimiter (e.g., "|") with a line break in a text string.

  10. "DAX line break in calculated column"

    • Code Implementation:
      Table[Column] & CHAR(13) & "Additional Text"
    • Description: Append a line break to a column value within a calculated column expression using CHAR(13).
