How to align column widths

Hi everyone,

 

Suppose I have the screenshot at the bottom of this post:

 

A good looking report would mean that each of the tables are the same size, so the column widths of each table should all be in line. Is there a good way to do this besides just manually eyeballing and dragging the columns with my mouse? I'm aware you can format each visual's x and y position, which helps, but I couldn't find anything to accurately do column width. A fast, accurate way to do this is preferrable because even if I get the column widths to be pretty good, sometimes I need to adjust font sizes, add visuals off to the side and so I would need to adjust page size and re-center. This often times means the formatting could get messed up. 

In Excel, every thing is stored at the cell level where its intersected by a column and a row. I am able to accurately enter in a number to adjust column or row size.  Does PowerBI have anything useful like that?

 

I saw some other posts on this same topic, but they were from a couple years ago. I was wondering if a good way to do this has been discovered since then.

 

any help is appreciated, thanks!
