Option to set explicit numerical column widths in PAW CubeViews (similar to Excel)

Current Behavior:

In Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW), setting column widths in CubeViews relies on manual dragging or auto-fitting content. When placing multiple CubeViews on the same sheet/tab, aligning column widths consistently across all tables is very difficult, imprecise, and time-consuming. Because manual dragging lacks exact values, stacked or adjacent CubeViews often look misaligned and visually uneven.

Proposed Enhancement:

Provide a formatting option in PAW CubeViews that allows authors to define an explicit numerical value (e.g., in pixels or standard character units) for column widths, similar to Microsoft Excel.

  • Authors should be able to highlight one or multiple columns and manually type in a specific width value.

  • Ideally, this formatting option could be applied to individual columns, all selected columns, or as a global default width for a specific CubeView widget.
