We would like the defined row header width to be the same for all levels of the hierarchy.

Hello power Bi team,

At different levels of hierarchy for a Matix visual there is a text abbreviation, but in some cases the width adapts to the full text. We would like the defined row header width to be the same for all levels of the hierarchy for matix

Hi @v-keerthich1 ,

In Power BI, the Matrix visual does not currently offer a built-in option to enforce a fixed row header width across all levels of a hierarchy. However, there are a few workarounds that can help maintain consistency. One approach is to manually adjust the row header width after expanding all hierarchy levels. This adjustment should persist when saving the report. Another method is to use a calculated column that appends spaces to the text to enforce a uniform width. For example, you can create a column using DAX:

Padded Label = 'Table'[Category] & REPT(" ", 10)

This technique ensures that all labels occupy a fixed width, though the number of spaces may require some tweaking. Additionally, disabling word wrap can prevent Power BI from resizing the headers dynamically. This can be done by navigating to the Format Pane, selecting Row Headers, and turning off Word Wrap. Another alternative is to use consistent abbreviations across hierarchy levels to avoid varying widths. If the hierarchy structure itself is causing inconsistencies, creating a parent-level label may help standardize the display.

Unfortunately, Power BI does not provide a direct setting to lock row header widths, and if this is a critical requirement, you might need to explore custom visuals like Deneb, which offers more layout control. Let me know if you need help implementing any of these solutions.

Best regards,
