Data View - Column Width

Is it possible to fix the column width in the data view table in Power Bi.  I have a column with a lot of text in and the column automatically fixes the width of it for the text as opposed to wrap text in Excel.
I know you can manually change the width by dragging the column but next time I open it, it reverts to the maximum width again

    Hi mwild ,

     

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to set the column width automatically, you can only adjust it manually.

    If you would like to suggest  feature improvements, you may vote the idea and comment here  to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

  • It is not possible to manually change the width either when columns are wider than the viewspace. Its a bug not a suggested improvement but not sure how to raise these?
