How to hide and fix the column width

I'm a beginner.
Currently being created Matrix is ​​being created. I have a column that has only some whitespace and I want to hide it.

I was able to turn off word wrap, turn off auto-adjusting column widths, and move column widths to temporarily hide them.

However, when I update the data, it comes out again.

Is there a way to set the column width of the column to 0 and fix it even after the data is updated?

By the way, the connection method is a direct query.

Thank you in advance

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

According to your description,I think you can try to turn off ‘show items with no data’ option in matrix.

@Anonymous , You can change it manually like excel. Go to the edge of the column in hear. You will get resize mouse pointer. Then you can resize.
