Power BI bug in display header in the web application

[sabizen]

Hi,

I'm having this problem displaying table headers in my browser. Everything is set up correctly in the application, but when I open Power BI from the web to view and export my work, the table headers are squashed. Until a week ago, everything worked fine, and the table layouts never changed.
I think it's a Power BI bug...

Thanks for your help,

Sabino.

I found the solution. I did it again from scratch . As you can see the table on the right works perfectly compared to the old two on the right of the screen that decided to go crazy overnight.

Obviously I tried also to copy the format buy nothing works. 

I can confirm that is a 100% bug

thanks everyone for the effort

Service is just holding an old layout, so in Desktop hit Reset to default on that table and publish it forces a clean rebuild and the header comes back.

I did the reset but as you can see, header are still squeezed

Hey @sabizen,

Since nothing changed and it was working fine until recently, let's assume it is browser-related. Try these quick fixes first:

1. Clear browser cache & cookies
2. Ensure your browser zoom is at 100%
3. Try a different browser. Power BI works best on Microsoft Edge or Chrome
4. Try opening Power BI in InPrivate / Incognito mode.

Best,

Harshit

Hi @sabizen ,

Are you able to share a screenshot of what is ocurring?

Be aware that there hasw been updates in the themes used by Power BI that can impact the way things are presented specially if you have not updated to the latest version of the theme in Power BI desktop.

Hi @sabizen ,

On the table / matrix properties, go to gri and then to options and increase the size of the row padding and chek if the height of the header also increase, then you can try and put it back to the same size and publish it to the Service, and see if it's solved.

I increased the value to 12...  didn't work

Hi @sabizen ,

This is not the padding of the table it's on the grid options and it's row padding.

The one you change is the visuals padding that changes the space around the full visualization.

[sabizen]

You were right, now I did it in the right place and looks like it worked but I used a value of 17 that is too much. So now the web visual looks "okish" but the matrix in the app looks too big.
 I still cannot understand why it worked till yesterday and now i need to do all these "strange" adjustments...

[MFelix]

Hi @sabizen ,

Try to do a reset on the definitions for that specific property or adjust to another number that specific setting increases the row size of the matrix so it will increase in "height" and may need so additional tweaking.

MSFT have been making a lot of changes on the matrix / table visual and also on the theme so that can lead to some errors on the reports already built so that can cause strange problems.

Hey @sabizen,

Much helpful. This seems like a bug. To solve, can you try:

Format Pane > Grid > Options > Row Padding > Increase slightly (this might work)

And then, just to nugde it more, Format Pane > Column Headers > Text size > set explicit size (say, 11)

and Format Pane > Column Headers > Options > set Auto-size width to Off

Republish and check.

Best,
