Hi @SantoshRaoBomm1,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community, and special thanks to @Vijay_Chethan , @ajaybabuinturi , and @danextian  for their prompt and helpful responses.

 

Just following up to see if the workarounds suggested by @Vijay_Chethan  and @ajaybabuinturi  were helpful in addressing the issue of freezing the first two columns while allowing horizontal scrolling. As column freezing is currently not supported in Power BI tables, and if this feature is critical for your use case as noted by @danextian you may consider raising it as an idea in the Power BI Ideas forum.

Hi @SantoshRaoBomm1,

Wanted to let you know that there is NO Column Freezing option available in Power BI application. However I would suggest a workaround. If it suits for your business needs, you can go with that workaround. Follow the below steps. 

  1. Create two separate table visuals:
  • Left Table: Add only Skill and Track columns.
  • Right Table: Add only month columns
  1. Align them side by side so they appear like one continuous table.
  2. Place both visuals in a group (Ctrl + Click both > Right-click > Group) so they move together in formatting or placement.

Thanks,
If you found this solution helpful, please consider giving it a Like👍 and marking it as Accepted Solution✔. This helps improve visibility for others who may be encountering/facing same questions/issues.

May not work exactly how intended to , if data overflow, then it wont scale vertically

Hello SantoshRaoBomm1,
You can use matrix visual instead of Table visual for your use case,
add your two columns which are not supposed to be moved as rows for matrix visual and do folllowing setting:

Hi @SantoshRaoBomm1 

 

Power BI tables and matrices don't currently support custom freezing. Only column and row headers are frozen. If this is important to you, you may post this as an idea. https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-Ideas/idb-p/fbc_ideas 

 

You can however make a matrix look like it is a table by using the Tabular layout, disabling row subtotals and enabiling Repeat row headers.
