Hi Everyone!
I have a table where I need to combine headers for two values, as shown in the image. As it's not possible in Power BI, I hide the original header and use a text box instead. When I do it in Power BI desktop or Power BI.com, the alignment looks good (see yellow line).
However, when my client opens the same report in his browser, this happens.
Does anyone know what I should fix to ensure the size is always the same?
Thanks

Hi @julsr
Using text boxes isn't a reliable method, as what appears correctly in Power BI Desktop might not render the same way in a browser. Factors like the browser type and screen resolution can affect the layout. A more flexible approach would be to place the values in rows, set the display name of the measure to a space (to hide the label), and then adjust the column width accordingly.

It worked, thanks!
Hello,
I haven't seen this one before, but have you tried fiddling with the text wraps, etc?

Yes, I did, but the same problem. I don't know why the size changes if it shouldn't be dynamic.
