Is it possible to specify or adjust the column width of an excel file while exporting data from a table in Power BI?
Hi @suhail_ma,
Could you please mark the proper answer if it's convenient for you? That will be a help to others.
Best Regards!

Hi,
It seems that it is impossible by now. Maybe it isn’t necessary due to it’s easy to change the width in the excel file. Choose all the columns you want to adjust (or the whole worksheet), double click the edge of any column. You still can submit an idea here:

I think the questioner didn't ask for how to adjust the width in excel manually.
before export the data how to set it up would be the question.
