How to make one table scrollable and keep another fixed on the same page in Power BI Report Builder

Hi everyone, I have a layout scenario in Power BI Report Builder (Paginated Report): Table 1 → contains a large dataset, so I want it to have its own scrollbar (scroll inside that section only). ...

    Hi prabavathym 
    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. 

     

    I would also take a moment to thank  tayloramy , for actively participating in the community forum and for the solutions you’ve been sharing in the community forum. Your contributions make a real difference.

     

    As mentioned above, paginated reports in Power BI Report Builder are designed for page-based layouts meant for printing or exporting. Because of this, they don’t support interactive elements like scrollable regions or containers the entire tablix expands based on the number of rows returned.

    If you need the scrolling/interactive behavior (like in Tableau or Power BI Desktop visuals), that would only be achievable in the Power BI Desktop environment, not within paginated reports.


    If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know. 

    Best Regards,

    Hi prabavathym, 

    Unfortunately that's not possible with report builder. Paginated reports don't have interactive elements by design as when it is printed there would be missing data where the interactive element is. 

     

    Is your goal to print the report while only showing the top X rows of the first table? 

     

    If you found this helpful, consider giving some Kudos. If I answered your question or solved your problem, mark this post as the solution.
