Is there a trick to creating a blank row metric I can use as a spacer inside a grid or table. I am unable to save a metric with a space or special character as it’s name. Is there a way to hide the row header name?

Hi ​@Kevin Leadbeater 2  & ​@GaneshD ,

What I usually do to achieve this is to create a metric called

Set_Blank

and then in the table I rename it with “⠀” the blank character unicode U+2800 (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2800). Once done, I can duplicate it several time so I can have other blank rows in the table if needed.

Eventually this feature will be released (hopefully soon) so we don’t have to do any workaround.

 

Hope this helps,

Hi Kevin,

 

Was looking for a similar solution few days back and definitely would love to know if we have the capability to do it.

 

The workaround I have used is use any of the existing one liner metric or a staging metric, using the formatting option and select the “white”(background) colour as the font colour. This basically does the trick and you have a blank row for you which can be now used as a spacer!
