Dynamic screen resolution

We are woking on a set of reprots for a company where they have large, wide screen monitors with a high resolution in their personal screens; but their meeting rooms have screens with smaller resolutions. So much that users have to scroll to the right to be able to see a report even though we are using pretty much the default numbers.

My question, is there any way we could make it dynamic? In other words, we detect the resolution and modify it accordingly.

Hi All,
Firstly  PijushRoy and  Kedar_Pande thank you for yours solutions!
And @lg01 , 
By default, the page display view is “Fit to Page” and the display ratio is 16:9. If you wish to lock in a different aspect ratio or otherwise adapt to a screen with a different resolution, you can adjust the page view settings and page size settings. This will allow the report to fit the width of the screen and reduce the need for users to scroll left and right.

Here is the related document, hope it can help you.

Hi @lg01 
Changing the resolution is not available in Power BI.
Alternative solution - 1 
To solve the scroll problem, please use the Field Parameter. For example, by default, you have 15 columns created by scrolling right to left. 
But by using the field parameter, users can select the columns which are column they want to see in visualization.

Please Develop Pagination report if you have many rows in your visual to break into different pages.

Currently, Power BI does not have built-in functionality to dynamically adjust report layout based on screen resolution.

Workaround:

  1. Design two versions of the report: one for high-resolution screens (wide layouts) and another for smaller screens (condensed layouts).
    Use bookmarks or separate report pages for each layout, allowing users to select the appropriate view for their screen.
  2. Encourage users to use browser zoom (e.g., 80% or 90%) on high-resolution screens, so the entire report fits comfortably.

Using a combination of these approaches can improve adaptability across different display resolutions.
