Spacing error when reports displayed via PowerBI Service

Good day,

In the report below we can find that it seems that X=8 left indent and Y=8 is not as such for some controls or rather differently displayed in Desktop and Online versions (see illustration below). Do you have any ideas how to fix that visual error? It doesn't happen with lower control, however (it also have x=8).

 

Look at spacing in Online vs PowerBI desktop version.Look at spacing in Online vs PowerBI desktop version.

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

try to change the report to "Actual size":

Like this usually it shows the acutal size of the report in Power BI Desktop and in the service. You can then adjust the size of the report if it's too big or small to a specific size.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
Denis
