Hi All,

To make Canvas Apps show the same number of items per row (4 items) in both Canvas mode and Window mode, Please suggest what need to adjust in settings.
Right now Power Apps is automatically resizing controls, so when the window is larger it drops to 3 items.
I need in both mode it should remain 4 items in row.

Layout → Flexible height, Flexible Width

Disable “Scale to Fit”

Enable “Lock Aspect Ratio”

Canvas Size:

Window size:

Hello @yashgoyal,

To consistently display 4 items per row in both Canvas mode and Window mode, it’s important to control the width of each item instead of relying on Power Apps’ automatic resizing.

Select the DataCard inside the form and, in the Width property, set the following formula (each DataCard (field) in the form):

Parent.Width/4

Power Apps always allocates space for four fields in a row, regardless of screen size or window resizing. If a different layout is needed, you can simply change the divisor (for example, Parent.Width/3 for three fields per row).

Approach 2:

1. Select the form in your app.
2. In the form’s Columns property, set the number of columns you want per row (for example, 4).
3. Then, for each DataCard (field) in the form, enable “Width fit”.
