Which creating Tables in Power BI Reports, there should be ability to Freeze Pane as in Excel. This seems to be a basic Requirement and should have been part of initial Releases. Please add the feature asap.

It is unbelievable that such a simple and useful option is not available. People ask for this future for 2 years. Please add this option asap. Best Regards

Would be good if Power BI Team can start 2019 with a renewed focus on tables/matrixes and fix all the little gaps that exist, first being freeze columns. If table/matrix functionality is nailed, nearly every other visual can be lived without.

Its hilarious how people have been asking for this for 2+ years and it has yet to be added.
Microsoft can bill you for $5,000+/mo for access at a company level but can't implement freeze panes. Seems like resources are going to the right place.

Please implement this functionality similar to how it is executed in Excel. It's extremely helpful for very wide tables, and as a workaround we have ended up replicating what would be the frozen column multiple times, which is cumbersome to implement and harder for the user to follow.

RE: Ability To Freeze Panes in Power BI Reports?

This would be a great feature to have. I have a lot of reports with slicers on top that control all of the visuals. If I'm looking at the bottom visual on the sheet, and I want to change one of the filters, or just check what filters are set, I have to scroll all the way up to the top to do so, and then scroll all the way back down to the visual I was looking at.
