I had to manually adjust the length of each column to the max width I would see based on the values and turned off auto-size. For instance, I had month name running across my Matrix as column headers. Each month name has a different length naturally so I manually sized the column widths to be the max width based on my longest month name value resulting in consistent column widths when the data refreshes. I'm not sure the variety of possible values you're working with that will/could appear in the headers but set the column widths to the length of your largest value that could appear and see what that does on your end.

@parry2k the problem is the text value may have multiple line, i have a function with line break. let say value has 3 line of text i want them to show up in 3 line not more. but unfortunatly if one of the lines are longer some how PBI break it to 2 line so insted of me having 3 line text i get 4 line
