Allow user to set column widths en masse. Ideally for each variable. For instance, I have sales and market share for each of ten years. If I am not good with the auto set width, rather than having to manually modify the width for each year, I should be able to either enter a width for the field OR manually change one and have the other years follow suit. Either would be helpful, rather than visually setting the widths and hoping I have them equal.

RE: Set Column Widths
This should be a basic Power BI feature, Excel implemented this more than 20 years ago.
RE: Set Column Widths
Yes Please...
RE: Set Column Widths
Please, we would also apprecitate this feature. Thank you
RE: Set Column Widths
It should be useful to be able to set the column width based on a numerical series
RE: Set Column Widths
need this!
RE: Set Column Widths
I would like to be able to set the column width to zero if all values in the column were null
RE: Set Column Widths
There are many ideas pointing to issues with how powerbi matrices and tables handle column widths. It is honestly inconceivable that these visuals cannot have widths set to a value for one, many, or all columns... There is not another spreadsheet (perhaps ever) that didn't allow that. (Visicalc, Lotus 123, Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, Tableau, to name a few) It's such an obvious need that it doesn't get much play here and the width issues just continue to be buried and pushed aside by sexy features.
Sure would like it to be fixed. I have 5,000+ potential column headings depending upon filters (not every table is months of a year) and what can I do with that? Set each one on every matrix that uses that column source? I'm sure I'm not alone...we're the silent majority I guess.
RE: Set Column Widths
This definitely needs to be added for matrix visualizations.
RE: Set Column Widths
This is a must have. I think the majority of people using this want to spend their time on data and analytics, not manually adjusting column widths every time we add a new value to a matrix.
Even when manually adjusting there is no way to ensure every column is the same width!!
RE: Set Column Widths
table column width seems to be recalculated if the data width changes (larger currency values, longer text). Would be nice to be able to freeze column width.
