RE: Auto Fitting Column Width

Totally agree with Terri B...the formatting options to set column widths in tables and matrix is a real problem.

RE: Auto Fitting Column Width

We should also be able to set Column Headers to text wrap and set auto-size width on the Values. Instead it appears to unwrap the Header when the values are longer and leave large gaps between the values because of the size of the column header.

RE: Auto Fitting Column Width

I think that column width formatting on the matrix and table visuals is such a weak link in otherwise useful visuals. If you calculate dynamic column headings to reflect something like the current month, there is no way to stop the width of the columns from changing every time you refresh the data. And if the column headings are wider than the data in the columns, none of the hacks for setting consistent column headings work. Please give us better formatting options to set column widths!!

RE: Auto Fitting Column Width

Building a matrix with rolling 12 months cycling through the columns is extremely painful as every month the columns get thrown out of alignment.

RE: Auto Fitting Column Width

I also want to be able to turn off auto-fit while leaving wrap text on.

RE: Auto Fitting Column Width

This will certainly be helpful. It's a basic feature available in MicroStrategy and Tableau as far as I know. Current videos in the community show painful workarounds to insert fake measures and turn auto width off.
