Hi Anonymous, dsandberg,

 

I just verified that I can manually set column width on Matrix preview successfully without this issue in the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.45.4704.442 64-bit (April 2017)) on my side.

 

Have you tried removing the original Matrix preview, then add a fresh new Matrix preview to see if it works?

 

If the issue persists, could you share a sample pbix file which can reproduce this issue? So that we can help further investigate on it. You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.:smileyhappy:

 

Regards

    I am still having troubles with this feature.  I have recently:

    1. Restarted the application.
    2. Verified I am running Power BI Desktop version 2.45.4704.442 64-bit (April 2017)
    3. Created a new .pbix file
    4. Added a 'Matrix Preview' visualization to a report tab
    5. Linked to some data
    6. Added row and value data to the Matrix Preview
    7. Manually sized (narrowed) the column headers
    8. Turned off "Auto-Size" under the column header formatting group
    9. Turned on "Word Wrap" under the column header formatting group....

    ... and that is when the column headers revert back to their original size.

     

    A sample .pbix file is located:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5B3d11gbW8DQVBkM0dIUWtDNUU/view?usp=sharing
