How to make columns size fixed

Hi, I would like to make the columns fixed whenever I change the column names. This is how it looks like when I set up for AFRICA.

But when I change it to ASIA, it will look like this.

Please note that there is overlaying table, where I put my conditional formatting for the variance against the budget. If you have further ideas how I should make this report possible, appreciate your help

Hi @9fsabor 

You could switch off the Auto-size column width from Format > Column headers. Then hover the mouse cursor over the vertical grid lines between column headers. When the mouse cursor switches into a double-arrow cursor, left click and hold it to drag the column header to change its width. This width will be fixed when you change the region filter.

@9fsabor , Initially go ahead and increase the size of columns in a table like excel. and save it and check

Hi Amit, thanks for answering. Not working. I calibrated the columns, saved them. Then I changed the Region filter, then columns moved according to the # of characters of column names.
