Key Features

You drag a matrix column to just the right width, then switch a field parameter slicer or the data refreshes — and Power BI throws your sizing away and auto-fits everything again. Dragging borders in Desktop only holds until the next change, so a tidy table never stays tidy. This skill lets you set the exact pixel width you want, locks it in so auto-fit can't override it, and remembers every width — so when Power BI does drift, one command snaps them all back into place. It even spots field parameters and locks each option's own width, so every view of the table keeps its layout — run it with /column-width.

How it works

Type /column-width, select your page and visual, and the skill shows you the current state:

  1. Lists all pages and their matrix/table visuals

  2. Displays a compact summary of current column widths with a status column showing which are locked, fixed, or unset

  3. You specify which columns to resize and the desired pixel widths

  4. The skill updates the widths, persists them to a lock file, and sets column sizing to fixed

What you get

  • Current width summary — compact table showing each column's current pixel width and lock status

  • Updated visual definition — new column widths applied with fixed sizing mode

  • Width lock file — persisted width locks so widths can be restored after Power BI resets them
