Adjusted column width changes on column selection
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?
I think that these are usually raised as issues within the ideas area.

this one seems to relate to a similar issue.
I am also having the issue you are referring to but this only seems to be a problem when I have columns and not just values selected
Thanks, I've put it over there. Still no response from anyone to acknowledge the issue or help me/us understand that it's going to be fixed.
Hi ThomasDay
I've been looking into this a bit more and the issue of the columns not retaining their sizes seems to only occur when you are passing a value into the column field and not just values.
I've been able to work around mine (although not ideal as it's a little slower) but it's a workaround none the less.
my matrix was purely to break out values into each month of the year, so I have had to write measure for each month.
and I've passed all the months in as just values. with auto size switched off I can now resize and these are retained.
the two comprises here for me have been 1, I have had to write my own total measure and 2. because of this new total measure my values aren't in bold but with column formatting I've been able to set the back ground colours etc... so it doesn't look too bad.
Dog!
