    Hi Balaji1414 

    According to my test,

    1. When the "auto-size" of "column headers" is off, the column will keep its length, which won't change automatically.
    2. When the new data is added the first time, the column would fit its width automatically. 
    3. First set "word wrap" on, then set "auto-size" off, it would satisfy your scenario.

    You can have a try .

Why isn't it possible to just set the column width as fixed with the number of caracters in the formatting pane? Would make my life a whole lot easier and would save me a lot of time using work arounds like column width measures (REPT..)
