PowerApps Form Sizing in PowerBI
Hello everyone
I have created a PowerApps form to use in a PowerBI report. The report is a simple tabular report that will utilize the PowerApps form to enter data and write back to the SQL Server. Everything functions fine the issue is the look of the form. I have a lot of grey space at the top and bottom and I am still forced to scroll. The end users are not particularly thrilled with this seeing as there is so much space and they still have to scroll. I would like to resize the height of the PowerApp so that we can eliminate scrolling as much as possible. I have attached a photo for reference.

You have selected "phone screen" when asked about the canvas size. Start over and select "tablet" or whatever they call it now.
Hello NameTaken
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.
Thank you lbendlin for your prompt response.It appears that the issue you're encountering is related to incorrect display settings in PowerApps. To improve the form's appearance, you can adjust the screen size and orientation settings. Please follow these steps:
- Screen Size + Orientation: Go to the Settings menu and select Display.
- Custom Size: Select Custom to set your preferred size. Specify a width between 50 - 3840 and a height between 50 - 2160.
- Scale to Fit: Ensure the Scale to fit setting is turned off to let the app adjust to the device's aspect ratio and utilize all available space.
- Lock Aspect Ratio: Turn off the Lock aspect ratio setting to prevent distortion and allow the app to adjust to various screen sizes.
For more detailed information, please refer to the below official PowerApps documentation :
