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.

Actuellement la présentation des rapports, notamment le contenu de certaines cellules qui peut être tronqué, n'est pas optimisée et difficilement présentable. Merci d'avance.

this would be very useful, PBI is about automation so having to update the visualisation of the matrix whenever a new col is added to the dataset isn't great at all e.g. My matrix shows months as cols, products as rows, and sales data as values. The matrix shows the last three full months of sales. I have to update the report on the first of over month.

This is simple but important. Column Charts placed above a table or matrix is a common scenario which requires this alignment feature. The 3rd party visuals that look to do this just don't have the same quality and functionality as the standard Microsoft visuals.
