    Hi Vlad,

    Yes, this should be an issue that can be reproduced with multiple users with high resolution settings. The best and efficient way is to report it by

    clicking the smiley face to in-app feedback, this will show more business impact about this case and make the related team pay more attention on that.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Regards,

    Rena

    Hi Rena,

    I have the same issue.

    I change the screen resolution to 1920x1080 every time I work with Power Query as a temporary solution. The scale in PQ table with 1920x1080 resolution is still not 100%, but only 80% of Excel window. So downscaling do not solve, but mask the issue.

    Hi Carlos,

    We appreciate your effort and the sharing. And we feel sorry for the inconvenience. We would suggest you click the smiley face to in-app feedback to them at the same time, this will show more business impact about this case. This is also the efficient way to let them be aware of this.

    Same problem here,  I tried using a second monitor (with less resolution) connected to my laptop:

    • If I use them as separate screens for some reason, even when the spreadsheet is in the monitor,  power query opens in my laptop -very small- and it can't be moved to the other monitor
    • If I use duplicate screens, both are very small
    • If I use "Monitor only" (laptop screen off) size is small but readable

    While it gets solved I'm using the magnifier app:

    Still need a solution, but this let me work and is better than switching resolutions

    Hi HunterK_16,

    Sorry for the inconvenience. The related team fix issues and bug depending on the priority, so there may take long days to get responses. We can’t tell the exact time till now. We would suggest you click the smiley face to in-app feedback to them at the same time, this will show more business impact about this case. This is also the efficient way to let them be aware of this.

    In the meantime, resolution 1920x1080 appears fine. The issue seems to be only with 3840x2160 resolution. Before the issue fix, you can change the resolution as a workaround.

    Really appreciate your time and understanding,

    Rena
