    Hi @mbaas ,

    You need to set scrollX to true to enabled DataTables' horizontal scrolling. Take a look at this example.

    Thanks,
    Sandy

    You need to enable scrollX for FixedColumns. This is from the linked page:

    When making use of DataTables' x-axis scrolling feature (scrollX), you may wish to fix the left or right most columns in place.

    Here is your example with scrollX enabled:

    Also note that FixedHeader is not compatible with the scrolling features and thus FixedColumns:

    Please note that FixedHeader is not currently compatible with tables that have the scrolling features of DataTables enabled (scrollX / scrollY). Please refer to the compatibility table for full compatibility details.
