    Yes, the dynamic page size option has been removed from Power BI Desktop. Note that existing reports created using this option will continue to work as they did previously; however, the option cannot be set on new reports.

     

    The reason we removed this option is because we cannot guarantee that our free-form report layouts will scale dynamically without introducing undesired side effects. Specifically, elements that are absolutely positioned to perfectly align with other elements on the canvas will lose their relative positioning to the elements they were supposed to be aligned with and the layout will look broken. What’s worse, this won’t be obvious while the report is being created and can lead to unpleasant surprises when they are viewed by others.

     

    Now for some good news: we are actively working on implementing a new dynamic mode which will enable us to guarantee that report layouts won’t break when they are dynamically resized. We are on track to deliver this important feature this summer; please stay tuned.
