Zooming issue

Here is a new one . . . at least for me.

I am working in the desktop software and one of my talbes in the table view is zoomed way out. I have tried most common keyboard shortcuts to zoom back in but nothing seems to be working (CRTL + mouse wheel, CTRL + "+", ect). Has anyone ever encountered this? Any ideas on fixing it?

Oddly enough, it will not let me attach an image to this. I have one, just can't attach it.zoom.JPG

Yes, I had this the other day. Didn't think much about it and I just restarted Power BI to fix it.

 

Should have reported it like you did.

 

Cheers,

Never seen this before - I tried to resize but I don't think its possible to resize in the Data View. (at least I couldn't find a way to)

 

What OS is this happening on?

 

I'm on Windows 10 Pro and PBI Version: 2.30.4246.181 64-bit (December 2015)

Working on a Windows 8 machine. All other source tables show correctly so not sure if screen resolution or dpi would be important. Waiting to hear back from Microsoft.

Edit: This morning I saved the file with a new name and checked the Query. It has the same issue across the new file. In the  Edit Queries tab the source table shows up fine. The only issue is in the data tab. I am stumped.

I'm not aware of zooming functionality beyond blowing up a visualization to full screen. Can you change the text size in the table, per the November update blog post?

In the ribbon there should be a button called Page View, can you play with that to get it zoomed to normal? I think you have it set to "Fit"?

Unfortunately, page view is greyed out. If it would let me share my snip, you would be able to see that. It is not a large table, only 8 columns and 4 rows. You can read the table header but the rest is too tiny.  I should probably clarify that it is in the "data" tab in the desktop version, not table. Old terminology doesn't help. All other data sources view normally. Switched browsers to add image

That's definitely a bug. I'm not aware of any zooming or resizing you can do in that window.

 

Use the 'Send a Frown' option in the File menu to report this with a screenshot.

I sent a frown. Was just hoping for a quick solution.

I know of none. The things I would try in this case are saving, closing and reopening; sorting the fields in the table; re-evaluating the source query; hiding / unhiding fields - anything, really, that would typically cause the table to redraw in part or in full.

thank you for your suggestions. I tried each and every one of them to no avail. I even rebooted the computer just in case. It doesn't affect any of the other tables, just that one (which is tiny in comparison -- no pun intended). I will wait to hear back from the support team. Hopefully, they will have an explaination.

thanks for the frown...I've never seen this before. Can you open the queries editor and does it have the same behavior? What is your screen's DPI? (and scaled %)
