How can I build a responsive report (that does not scale text size)?

Hello all,

 

I am trying to build an interactive report (e.g. a simple bar chart) that is responsive to the screen size. The report I built does scale with the screen size, however, so does the text, making the title, legends axis etc. quickly unreadable once you leave full-screen mode (e.g. put the chart on the left half of the screen). Putting two charts next to each other only makes the situation worse. My question therefore: How can I control the scaling (particularly stop the text from scaling with the chart) and the placement and flow of components (e.g. flexbox-like behavior to grow, shrink and wrap lines)?

 

Is there a good tutorial on the subject somewhere? I could not find one...

 

Regards,

Fabian

Hello Charlotte,

 

thank you for quick response and your detailed answer! I read the articles and watched the video. In the end, if I understood correctly, I have the choice between horizontal scrolling and text scaling down along with the content. For me that is the choice between the devil and the deep blue sea. Setting other page sizes does not help me either, because I cannot make any assumtions on the viewport size of the end user.

 

Is there really no way to have a web-like behavior? Can I maybe use regular web technologies with PowerBI, like Angular components or UI5?

 

Regards,

Fabian
