Allow user to set column widths en masse. Ideally for each variable. For instance, I have sales and market share for each of ten years. If I am not good with the auto set width, rather than having to manually modify the width for each year, I should be able to either enter a width for the field OR manually change one and have the other years follow suit. Either would be helpful, rather than visually setting the widths and hoping I have them equal.

- This is especially true since sliding the column adjusters do not "stick" with the new matrix visuals.
- Annoying (not to mention time consuming) when they don't "stick". Seems to be inherent problem with pivot/matrix tables as same problem with Excel.
- table column width seems to be recalculated if the data width changes (larger currency values, longer text). Would be nice to be able to freeze column width.
- This is a must have. I think the majority of people using this want to spend their time on data and analytics, not manually adjusting column widths every time we add a new value to a matrix. Even when manually adjusting there is no way to ensure every column is the same width!!
- This definitely needs to be added for matrix visualizations.
- There are many ideas pointing to issues with how powerbi matrices and tables handle column widths. It is honestly inconceivable that these visuals cannot have widths set to a value for one, many, or all columns... There is not another spreadsheet (perhaps ever) that didn't allow that. (Visicalc, Lotus 123, Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, Tableau, to name a few) It's such an obvious need that it doesn't get much play here and the width issues just continue to be buried and pushed aside by sexy features. Sure would like it to be fixed. I have 5,000+ potential column headings depending upon filters (not every table is months of a year) and what can I do with that? Set each one on every matrix that uses that column source? I'm sure I'm not alone...we're the silent majority I guess.
- I would like to be able to set the column width to zero if all values in the column were null
- need this!
- It should be useful to be able to set the column width based on a numerical series
- Please, we would also apprecitate this feature. Thank you
