Hi,
I have 2 tables on top of each other, in Power BI desktop they look perfect. Once I publish them, the row padding on both tables changes (and by different amounts?) making everything look misaligned. I have changed browsers and PowerBI versions and computers. Though sometimes one of the online report users say theirs will look normal. There is alot of inconsistency.
Kindest regards,
Roman

I haven't come across this kind of situation before, so I need a sample file with that issue to test. Could you please provide it? Thanks.
Then please also attach screenshots of the two scenarios together to compare their difference.

Dear Xiaotang,
Creating the case with dummy data will take some time as I have over tens of tables involved to get the data into these visuals, but here are some screenshots to describe the issue. The problem is actually reveresed.
I have 2 matrix tables stacked on top of each other. They have the same fields and records, so when aligned they should sit on top of each other perfectly. However, in the desktop version, the row padding greatly differs as you can see in the desktop labeled photo (even though its set as 0 for both). I have the row padding set as 0 for both tables, and they are sized to have the exact same dimensions. When I publish the report, they look perfectly aligned. as seen in the 'online' labelled photo. But in the desktop version it all messed up.
So my issue before was that I would mess around in the desktop version, usng trial and error to find the row padding number that fits. Then I would upload, the online version would take this random row padding number and use it properly, messing up the alighment. It only started using it properly a few weeks ago though, before they row padding would be different but the tables would align on desktop and online.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you for your time!
Hi Xiaotang,
due to data security I will have to inout some dummy data and then I will send screenshots. Sorry for the wait
