Description:
Currently, Power BI does not offer a direct way to set fixed column widths for individual columns in a Table visual through the Format pane. Users must manually resize columns or resort to editing the report.json file in .pbip projects, which is not user-friendly or scalable.
Proposed Enhancement:
Introduce a “Column Width” setting under the Format > Specific Column section for Table visuals. This would allow users to:
Set a fixed width (in pixels or DIUs) for each column.
Optionally toggle auto-sizing on/off per column.
Preview column width changes in real-time.
Apply consistent formatting across reports without manual resizing.
Benefits:
Improves usability and precision in report design.
Reduces reliance on manual tweaks or metadata editing.
Enhances accessibility and layout control for enterprise reporting.
Aligns with formatting flexibility already available in Matrix visuals.
Use Case Example:
A user wants to align multiple table visuals across a report page with consistent column widths for better readability and visual harmony. Manual resizing is error-prone and time-consuming, especially when dealing with dynamic data or multiple visuals.
