How to lock table viz columns when scrolling right on very wide table viz.

I have Free PBI Desktop v2.105 (64 bit free version May 2022) on 64-bit Windows Server 2019 Datacenter v1809. 

I'm converting another report to use PBI. The width of the original report (a spreadsheet) prints on 2 sheets of 8.5x11 paper in landscape so it's very wide. I have a very wide table viz in PBI

How do I lock columns 1 and 2 when I scroll to the right to view more columns? Not all columns can fit on the screen at once. And if I shrink the screen the font becomes too small to read. An alternative would be to lock just column 2 which is a unique job number. 

I did not see any options for this in the table viz.

Thank you!

There are also many rows in this visual so using 2 visuals side by side will not work. One table viz will not sync with the other for vertical scrolling.
