Hi @Peter_23 


Welcome to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
 

Power BI Matrix visual does not currently support manually setting a fixed width for value columns using a numeric input.  As a possible workaround, turn off "Auto-size column width" in the Format pane under the Column headers or Values section, and then manually resize the columns by dragging their boundaries on the report canvas.

For better understanding , please refer the microsoft official document below:

Hi @Peter_23 In Power BI, there isn't a direct text box to input the exact width for columns in the matrix visual. However, you can disable "Auto-size column width" under the Column headers section of the format pane, then manually adjust the width by dragging the column borders in the visual.

Hello @Peter_23 

Select the Matrix visual.

In the Visualizations pane, go to:

Format pane → Column headers → turn off Auto-size column width.

Then, manually resize columns by hovering over the column borders and dragging with your mouse.

 

 

Thanks
