How to disable users to change the size of the column in the table when using Power BI online

Hi Guys,

 

Is there a way to disable users to change the size of the table's column when they are using Power BI online?

I don't want anyone to have a chance to edit the column size.

 

Thanks.

Hi @rile14 

 

It is not supported to disable report users to change column width of table visual currectly. You could vote up for the following idea Microsoft Idea  · Lock column width in the service (powerbi.com)

October 2023, still not supported. There might be (sort of) a workaround, for anyone still struggling with this.
You can try putting a transparent shape on top of the matrix/table header, make sure it covers the entire column headers part and make sure you bring the shape in front of (or over) the matrix/table.
Then, on the matrix or table, ensure the Maintain layer order property is enabled. This way, the headers are still visible for the user, but the user cannot access the resize tool, as the headers are now behind the transparent shape.
Not the nicest way of doing such a simple task.

It's been almost two years.  Is this still not possible in PowerBI?
