Adjusted column width changes on column selection

Hi all,

 

I have a matrix (using the new matrix preview which hugely condenses the row  hierarchy) in Power BI. I am able to resize the columns and have word wrap on, but when I clikck on any of the other columns (i.e. to sort by value) all of the columns go back to the full width required to fit in the header.

 

Does anybody know how to get the columns to remain at the size I set them too? I've tried turning Auto-size off but this made no difference.

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi jrobinson

     

    this looks like a defect in the preview visual, on the original matrix, switching off resize was all if took. 

     

    not sure who you would notify... I'm sure someone else will comment.

    Hi jrobinson,

    I can reproduce your issue when I only have Rows and Values in the matrix preview. However, when the matrix preview contains Rows, Columns and Values, everything works well after manually changing column width.

    Based on WillT’s reply in this similar thread, if the matrix preview only contains Rows and Values, it doesn’t work as expected when we manually set column width, this is a known issue and it will be resolved in a future update.

     

    Thanks,

      With the July general release of the "new Matrix", the column widths do not stick even with Rows, columns, and Values. Where should I report this?

        With the July Release, are New Matrix column widths staying put for anyone else who has dragged the column space separators to set col widths?
