Can I freeze a column in the "Table" visualization?

Hello,

 

Can I freeze a column in the "Table" visualization?

My table goes a few more columns on the right, but the number should always be visible.

Or are there alternatives instead of entering the column multiple times?

 

Thank you in advance for your feedback

Hi @Meeresblume ,

 

According to your description, the columns in the freeze table function are not available in Power bi due to I suggest that you can achieve a similar effect by doing the following:
1. using matrix instead of table

2. use two table visuals and put the index columns into the table separately to prevent inconsistent row order.

Hi @Meeresblume ,


What exactly do you mean by frozen columns? If you don't want to display certain columns, you can just move them out of the table visual. Can you further describe your requirements and provide relevant desired results.

 

Looking forward to your feedback.

 

Best Regards,
Stephen

If I create a table that has a lot of columns in it and I have to scroll to the right, then I want the first column (ProjectNo) to always be displayed, regardless of whether I scroll to the right or left.

So I always see which project it is about.

@Meeresblume , No option in table visual. You can check if the matrix can fit in need.
