Fixed column width

[Balaji1414]

Hi All, I have a matrix with four columns, when at the input side user changes the column name the width of the column is changing automatically, for this i have used "REPT" function to fix the column width. when the user edits the column name first time the width is not changing but when it repeats(column name editing multiple times) the column width is changing, can  anyone help with this?

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..)

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 .

This person is not correct.
The settings work for currently visible columns, for example Column years: 2022 and 2023.  If 2021 were added as a 3rd column via a selector, then the 3rd column has no defaults and is usually truncated.
