Aligment columns between browseers

Why do the columns I present in a report get out of alignment when I change browsers?

I presented a table-type object and in one browser the columns are wrapped, but another coworker opened that report in another browser and the columns were out of alignment

Hi @GabrielaFlores ,

1. Which browsers your users are using. Power BI is supported in Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox. But visuals might slightly vary from browser to browser. Can you check after clearing cache, and refresh the browser and see if the issue still persists.

2. Ensure the height, width, padding etc values are all same across all visuals. So it will appear atleast uniform across all browsers without distortion.

3. As @lbendlin has mentioned, for pixel perfect reporting, use paginated report.

Thanks,

Pallavi

Hi @GabrielaFlores ,

 

As @lbendlin mentioned you need go with paginated reports if you are worried about the alignment.

In Power BI, you can change how a report renders on a browser screen by using the View menu: 

Fit to page: The default setting, which scales the contents to fit the page 

Fit to width: Scales the contents to fit the page's width 

Actual size: Displays the contents at full size 

Full screen: Displays the report page without menu bars or headers 

You can also change the physical page size and margins of a report in Power BI Report Builder. The default page size is 8.5 x 11 inches.

 

Thanks,

Sai Teja

Neither Power BI Desktop nor Power BI Service give any rendering guarantee. If you need pixel perfect rendering, use Paginated Reports.
