Enable setting a fix width of each column in a matrix

It is needed to be able to resize a column for all occurrences in a matrix. That is, not by dragging the size for each and every column value, but with setting a specific pt length in the visualization setup.


If the column values change, etc depending on a slicer selection, all resizing of columns stop working and the initial sizing of the column takes over. Therefore it needs to be possible to change the "initial size" of each column.


This is for example needed in cases where column titles are much wider that what the data values actually need - causing the column width to be set according to the title length(when it would be better to wrap the titles to two-three lines). Therefore the matrices look bad if it is not possible to size the columns according to plan.

Just like in Excel, having the functionality to be able to adjust all your columns to either the same width, or any custom widths would be amazing and greatly improve the efficiency during report building process. Having to manually adjust and guess/eyeball each column is honestly a pain every time. Thank you!

When you switch off auto-column width sizing as property setting on either visual, you actually want to control the width manually or via the Measure-hack-trick. But sometimes measures change and you add/remove fields in the visual. It would be great to retain your custom width settings and not reset it when making changes to the fields - especially when auto-column width sizing is turned OFF. It takes a lot of effort to display these columns perfectly, and having to redo this takes a lot of effort and wasted time.
