Hello,
I am creating a paginated report using Power BI Report Builder. My report spans numerous pages so I want to display the column headers (name of each column) on every page. When I run the report in Report Builder, it does this automatically, but it does not when I publish it to Power BI. I have gone into "Tablix Properties" and selected both the "Repeat header rows on each page" and "Repeat header columns on each page" (separately and together), but neither of these have any impact after publishing. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
Matt

Right-click the row, column, or corner handle of a tablix data region, and then click Tablix Properties.
In Column Headers, select Repeat header columns on each page.
