Allow fixed column width in Table/Matrix visuals

Currently, column widths in Table and Matrix visuals can only be adjusted manually. Every time a new column appears (for example, new days in a calendar), it resets to the default width, forcing users to manually resize again and again.

Problem:

  • No option to set a global fixed width for all columns.

  • New columns always revert to default width.

  • This is unmanageable in dynamic scenarios like calendars, schedules, or daily reporting.

Suggested improvement:

  • Add an option to define a fixed column width (in px or %) for all columns in the visual.

  • Optionally, allow min/max width settings to balance flexibility with consistency.

  • Apply this setting globally to the visual, not just on individual columns.

Benefit:

  • Eliminates repetitive manual resizing.

  • Ensures consistent layout across dynamic reports.

  • Improves usability for anyone working with calendar, schedule, or time-series data in matrices.

The Excel like behavior would be great. Right Click on the column (or group of columns) and input the column width.
