How do you get a table to fill the entire space?

I want to get a table to fill the entire space I have given it. How do I do that?

Here's an example of it NOT doing that:

Power BI should really have a lot more customizability over some of its visuals - like being able to centre the visual in the space, being able to drag them slightly off-screen, being able to align them without it snapping everywhere, etc.

Hi @Loubot3000 

 

Currently Power BI cannot get a table or matrix to fill the entire space you have given it. You can only adjust the width of columns manually by dragging the grid lines between column headers. Before that, turn off the Auto-size width feature under Column headers.

Is this still the best option that exists in Power BI for this? It feels ridiculous that a "fit width" type function doesn't exist.

You can also change the row height by going: Visualizations > Format > Visual > Grid > Options > Row padding.

It would really be nice if they added this. So much of this type of formatting should be by default.
