Report Builder Column Headers are Not Repeating on Additional Pages

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

  • The setting of KeepWithGroup = after and RepeatOnNewPage = true needs to be done on the static members in the ROW GROUPS pane.
