I am creating a report using Power BI desktop which uses small coloured rectangles as shown below, when I publish this to the online workspace they all shift position.
Desktop:
Power BI Online:
Could someone please advise on this issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@amitchandak Thank you so much for your speedy reponse! I have now managed to resolve the problem.
I tried clearing the cache, this unfortunately did not work.
I am using the latest version of chrome and sceen sizes are both 16:9.
However, I stumbled upon the solution whilst implementing your changes, though I'm not sure why exactly this is a problem which occurs between the desktop and online platform.
It in fact was not the shapes moving but the text.
I had used tab spacing between the words in the text box, instead I tried using a series of standard spaces to see if the result would be different and this appears to be working fine now 😊

1. Clear Cache and try
2. Make sure you are not using IE, using the latest versions of Edge or Chrome or Firefox
3. Check the page size on the desktop under page property and screen size of the display are they two different in scale like 16:9 4:3. means too much of difference at both places
