width column matrix

hi all,

is it not possible to control the width of colum in a matrix?? Robot Frustrated

i have filters on a dasboard like 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and so on...

when i chose 2019 and draw the column together it is ok... but if i change the filter 2018 the column is wide again.

i want to change the width for all year and maybe comming years...

Hi there!

 

If I understand your issue correctly, when you change the year you are filtering on, the columns resize. However, you'd like to maintain the same column width regardless of what year you filter on.

 

If that assumption is true, then click on the visual, go to Format, and under Column headers, switch "Auto-size column width" from On to Off. This way, a filter will not cause the column widths to change.

 

Hope this helps!

it dont work 😞

when ich change the width for example

filter 2016 --> column sales: width 5cm

filter 2017 --> column sales: width 6cm

filter 2018 --> column sales width 7cm

I have three different width

i want a standaradized width for all years

Do I have to go through all columns?
