Cannot scroll sideways in a matrix table in mobile layout.

I have designed mobile layouts for our reports in the service cloud. While going through them in the PowerBI iOS app, I noticed that you cannot scroll sideways in any matrix table. You can for a regular table however. Is there an additional step that I am missing or is this a bug? Thanks.

    Hey pborah ,

     

    We are not aware of any issue with scrolling in Matrix visual.

    Can you share PBIX file with a repro for us to investigate?

     

    Thanks, Maya

      Thanks mshenhav  (Maya),

       

      Due to data confidentiality issues I cannot send you the original pbix, but I will try to replicate the issue with AdventureWorks data. Although I cannot forsee how that will help. Please keep in mind I am talking about the scrolling issue in the Power BI mobile app once I've also designed a mobile layout for the same report in power bi service. On a regular browser or desktop, it works just as intended.

    any updates from Microsoft's staff? because currently I have the same issue, can't scroll sideway in a maxtrix table in mobile layout 

  • I just encountered the same issue. It seems that it is becase the row header panes are frozen by defult. In Power BI Desktop you can unfreeze the headers by left clicking the matrix in desktop view. Then when you switch to mobile view the issue is fixed and you can now scroll left-to-right. So, the issue is not that you cannot scoll, it is scrolling. You just can't tell because the row header panes are frozen. However, this is still a major issue as you cannot save it in the unfrozen state. Therefore, if you have a wide header it seems as if you cannot scroll in the mobile version of the report. If the Power BI team could make a togglable option in the visuals setting to have the panes frozen or not, It would solve the issue...

    I am experiencing the same problem. Consequently, I have to remove some visuals in mobile view as they become unusable without the ability to scroll sideways.

      Hi MH_Ger 
      We are not aware of any current issue with the ability to scroll visuals sideways when using Power BI mobile apps.

      Can you please specify on which visuals you experience the issue, is it reproduce on iOS/Android/both.

      Can share screenshot that describe the issue?

       

      Thanks,

      Michal

    the behavior you described, where you cannot scroll sideways in a matrix table in the Power BI iOS app, might be influenced by the specific design and responsiveness settings in your report.

     

    Ensure that the matrix table in your report is designed to be responsive. Responsive design allows visuals to adapt to different screen sizes and orientations.
