Different (and ugly) rendering in Power BI Service than in Power BI

Hello,

 

Just to tell you that my reports are not displayed the same in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service.

Does anybody knows why ?

It really annoys be because it feels ugly when I am in Power BI Service.

 

 

In Power BI Desktop :

Display is GOODDisplay is GOOD

In Power BI Service : 

Display is BADDisplay is BAD

 

 

Thanks

Best regards,

 

Augustin

Hi @augustindelaf did you find a solution to this problem? I have the same problem with embedde reports and the only way to make it compatible with the original is to right click on the panel and "Update frame", then it seems normal. But every time we load a new embedded report, it looks “ugly” with incorrect formatting

You example doesn't answer my request, which is many matrix visuals side by side that don't look OK on PBI service.

please provide an email adress on which I can send you the sample file.

 

My clientdoesn't want me to publish it on the community.

Hi @v-yingjl 

 

thanks for the work, I appreciate.

The display seems to be correct on a browser, but now the PDF export (both from Desktop or Service), that was fine, is ugly and messy.

our final target is to generate a pdf.

Does it mean that it is impossible to have, in our case, both a nice visual rendering, as well as a nice PDF ?

thanks in advance for furthur help.

Hi @augustindelaf ,

 

I have tested many times but exporting to pdf whether in desktop or service it seems have no problems like this:

Maybe you can try more times and I'm willing to provide further help.

Try a different browser.. Or a different monitor(different machine).. Most of the times, its the browser or monitor issue.

 

If it helps,mark it as a solution

Kudos are nice too.

I tried on :

 

-Edge >>>STILL UGLY

 

-IE>>>STILL UGLY

 

-Firefox>>>STILL UGLY

 

Seems like it doesn't change anything.

Seems like a rendering issue when using outlines to group a few visuals together.

 

Have you tried grouping the visuals using the group feature?
