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
We need to raise this as a bug but not sure how?
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?
Great suggestion MWild, this is very frustraing
Hi @mwild ,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to set the column width automatically, you can only adjust it manually.
