Freeze first column in table

Hi, 

 

I have table and I want to freeze the first column name : Job#. I can't seem to find the solution to do this. 

I've tried using Matrix visual and put Job# under Rows but I can't see an option to click stepped layout to off. Is there an easier way to freeze column in Power BI? Thanks! 

 

Cheers,
Troy

Hey @Troyvan ,

 

In Row Headers option of the matrix, you can make use of the options:

Stepped Layout and +/-  icons and set them as shown below:

That'd do the trick for you

Is there a way to make the frozen columns sortable?
