Visuals Moving on Different Screen Sizes

[AndrewMarkham86]

Hi all, any help would be appreciated. 

My issue is that visuals move on my page when I use different screen/monitor sizes. 

I have created a report where I have a visual alligned to text so the image/link is directly next to some text. I used my lap top to create this and it looks perfect on both desktop and in service. However when I/others access this on a bigger monitor it automatically moves my visuals and they are no longer alligned next to the text so people don't know which visual relates to the text as it is all skewed. 

Is there anything I can do to stop these moving no matter what screen size people use? 

Thank you.

Hi @AndrewMarkham86 ,

Can you please provide sample pbix file with the same layout so that we can check from our end.
Please don't include any sensitive data.

I can't send the document over as it does contain sensitive data. I have popped screenshots of the issue on one of the comments below. 

On the third screenshot, it is the first box of questions that is shrinking in size that is causing the problem.

Hi @AndrewMarkham86 ,

Make sure the page size is the same. You can click on the page and check formatting options for the page. By default it's 16:9 but you can manipulate every pixel. Be sure all of them have the same size.

Finally check the visibility of the page (view menu). Is it fit to page? fit to width? make sure all of them matches too.

I hope that helps.

Hi Chaithra, 

I have done all of those things, so all page sizes are exactly the same and all are fit to page, but it is still moving the text box slightly so I can't get the icons to align.

Hi Chaithra, I am still having the issue where the visuals are moving, specifically when using a larger monitor. I have posted in the link you have just provided and see if anyone has any ideas there. 

I have also looked into adding a custom column into the table but I want this column to contain the page navigator link that is in my images above but it doesn't appear this is possible either. 

Thanks for your reply.

Hi @AndrewMarkham86 ,
Use a fixed canva size,

Set a fixed page size instead of the default "16:9" or "Fit to Page". This prevents Power BI from trying to auto-scale visuals.

Steps:

• Go to Format Pane → Page Information → Page Size.

• Change from "16:9" to Custom or use "Letter" / "A4".

• Define a width and height in pixels or inches that suits your design.

Group Element 

If you have a visual + text box that should stay together, group them.

Steps:

• Select the text and the visual.

• Right-click → Group → "Group".

Thanks for your response.

I have tried these steps but unfortunately haven't worked for me. They are still mis-alligned when I put them into service. 

This is what it looks like in desktop version and how I want it to appear in service.

However this is how it's coming out in service below

It appears that the text box circled in red below is being made smaller for some reason when I put it into service.

Hi @AndrewMarkham86 

This is a common issue caused by screen resolution differences – Power BI reports are not fully responsive, so visuals may shift when viewed on screens with different sizes or resolutions.

Here are some suggestions to help mitigate the issue:

1. Group and lock visuals before publishing to prevent them from shifting individually.

   

2. Ensure all users view the report in the same display mode in Power BI Service (e.g., Fit to Page, Actual Size).

   

3. Create a layout tailored for larger screens – manually adjust the canvas size and visual positions. Typically, a 16:9 aspect ratio works better for larger displays.
