Change column width of the pivot table in Qlik Sense

Satomi — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 08:53:26 GMT

I want to see a lot of axis values at once but it's automatically adjusted so you have to scroll to see it.
I'd like to adjust the width of the column as desired.

I have end users asking every week why they can't resize columns in a pivot table, or at least distribute the available space relatively according column width.

Yes this is very important, user wants to take a screenshot of the same but is unable to do because of the scroll. Please give settings for developer to manually adjust it.

I agree. We need this feature. Users are continuously asking me about it.

We're more than half-way through 2021, hopefully something will come up in the next release?

This is simply ridiculous... Need to scroll through columns when your values (in the following columns) take half the column width at max.

Can custom column width in pivot tables be added as a feature soon?

I agree this is ridiculous. Qlik Sense seems to be unable to handle more complex expressions and produces these excessively wide columns in pivot tables which you cannot alter. I have been working with Qlik products for more than 12 years but when basic requirements like this are missing it is difficult to justify using Qlik Sense.

I Agree! Please implement the column resizing on the Pivot table!!!

1) Automatically (individual width for every column), based on each columns individual content.

AND/OR

2) Custom width for each column (width is set by developer per column).

It should be one of those low-hanging fruits....

We want to give our users the best experience (without unneccesary scrolling/whitespace), right now that is NOT possible with Pivot.

Hopefully it will be possible soon!

I would accept that every column had a user-defined width but it takes the largest one, and sometimes this means that every column is really large (i.e. when text columns are involved).

Users are constantly complaining about this! Some of them even testing Power BI due to this.

Save Qlik Sense please!!

Any news on that? I've read posts from 2017 asking for this feature. It's a basic functionality that should have been implemented from the beginning tbh.

This level of control is absolutely required to make proper use of the screen real estate. At least if it automatically sizes all columns to fit properly or most of the columns is okay, but by default a lot of wasted space and not a good automatic sizing of columns.

Currently, I recommend other BI tools while basic features like this are missing from QlikSense

This feature is highly requested by our customers

Re: Change column width of the pivot table in Qlik Sense

chris_djih — Wed, 18 May 2022 11:35:09 GMT

this auto-size of pivot colums is a disastrous show.stopper.
some customer laughed at us and went with another tool

This function is very needed long ago. Why is it not on the short term list? Whe does Qlik resist to this demand?

Re: Change column width of the pivot table in Qlik Sense

@Patric_Nordstrom Any update on when this will be fixed in Qlik? IMO this isn't a product enhancement 'idea' it's basic OOTB functionality that every tool should have (and others do)...

jackm75 — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 22:02:42 GMT

Hard to believe this is still an unresolved issue. Basic functionality available in QlikView for years!

The 'P&L pivot' chart gives some flexibility for column width but has other limitations.

@Patric_Nordstrom, are we getting close to a resolution?

Re: Change column width of the pivot table in Qlik Sense

jean1 — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 13:18:10 GMT

Agreed - P&L pivot made progress, but only being able to have 2 dimensions isn't enough (especially if you have to waste one for grand total row...

My company use qlikview before, now we're migrating to qliksense. There are some really fancy features in qliksense, but some of the basic ones are missing. This problem is kept bothering the developers and users in my company, I really hope the qliksense team can solve this problem.
