Table Size Changing per computer or user
- 1 year ago
Thankyou, MasonMA, danextian, for your response.
Hi mclawler,We sincerely appreciate your inquiry made through the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
Based on my understanding, the issue arises due to Windows display scaling (DPI settings) and differences in screen resolution. Power BI visuals, especially tables, are not rendered with pixel perfect accuracy and may appear differently when users apply scaling settings (such as 150%) or use different monitors.
Kindly refer to the following recommendations to ensure consistent report display:
- We recommend that users view reports at 100% scaling for optimal alignment.
- Leave adequate padding around tables. Avoid edge-to-edge visuals, and maintain buffer space to accommodate zooming and scaling variations.
- Utilize drillthrough views instead of scrollbars for large table visuals.
- Set the Canvas Size to 1366x768 or 1280x720 (16:9 aspect ratio). These resolutions are suitable for most laptops and monitors.

I literally just received this response from a report user:
"So this is interesting. I disconnect my laptop from the monitor and checked the report. It looked just fine, but I noticed my computer settings were set to text showing as small as possible. I adjusted it to 150% (which is where it normally is) and the report is back to scrunching the totals/tables. This tells me its the personal user's settings that are causing the issue. When at 100%, the report looks perfect, but if I make it 150% those issues come back."
I now wonder if there's a way to make reports more compatible with a wider audience. Some sort of general guideline on sizing that would accomodate most user display settings....
