    How to lock column width?

    Hello, I have a problem. Every time I refresh the pivot table, the width of the columns always change. I have it set up as 13.5 but after refresh certain columns go to 6 or 7.

    You gave me an idea. All I have to do is make some kind of a invisible text that fills the row so it won't ever change again. Basically, it will be locked.

    Uncheck the autofit column option under the pivot table options.
