    I so wish that you consider providing the ability to "Apply Width to all Data Columns" and maybe to Rows as well. This can be just a toggle (checkbox).

    My current experience was to resize each of the 90-day worth of data and it was not very productive and I had to do this each time a new batch comes in.

    When will we be able to set the width of table/matrix columns? It’s crazy to use an alternate solution like adding letters (WWWWWWW) to achieve the desired size and then toggling the auto-width option on and off. It’s even more frustrating when building a multi-language report (e.g. 15 languages) with a field parameter as a column to translate the data. Try it (hint below), and you’ll see how impractical it is. Please deliver this feature as soon as possible. Thanks.Hint: Update field parameter values with letters (WWWWW), display the data in each different language with the auto-width option on, turn off auto-width, go through each different language in the visual to verify, and finally go through each language again after updating the field parameter with the correct values.

    If Auto-size with is off, add option to input column width size.

    Column width is sometimes a pain. I want to define the width of a column for a measure and for the columns in general.

    Allow tables, matrix, graphs to have a defined, fixed width. Let that width be preserved after updating/refreshing/slicing/filtering data so that alignment of multiple visuals can be preserved.

    Excel has it (column width). Please get this in Power BI for tables and matrices!
