Hi terracottagull,

 

Thank you for providing the additional information.

I see that your main concern is with the new Fixed Width functionality for Matrix visuals, rather than previous workarounds. From your description, it looks like the custom widths set for row-header columns are reverting to the Default Width after you leave the page or reopen the PBIX file, even though they apply correctly at first.

This doesn't seem to be the intended behavior. Currently, it appears that custom widths for row fields may not always persist, which could point to a limitation or issue with the feature's current implementation.

 

I would recommend submitting this through the Power BI Support channel so the product team can investigate whether this is a known issue with the newly released feature. Thank you for highlighting this behavior.

Thank you.

    I was excited to use this new feature and had meticulous applied it to about 45 columns across 3 matrices to line everything up perfectly, only for everything to be lost as soon as I went to the next report tab and then returned. Really disappointing to see that this long-awaited and long overdue feature just doesn't even work.
