To allow for a column to have its size specified, there are several conditions which must be met. 1. You must have an entry in the `props.columns` array. 2. One of the `props.columns` entries MUST have the field specified as a case-sensitive match to a key of your data (using the example data of the Table you could supply “city”, “country” or “population”). 3. Supply a value for `props.columns[x].width`, where “x” is the index of the column specified to be the column for your field/key. The value you specify here is understood to be in pixels, so a value of `150` would mean “150px”. Supplying “px” as part of the value will result in it being ignored. This screenshot displays how I’ve created a column entry, set my column entry’s field to “city” (which matches a key from my supplied data), and I’ve specified a width of `50`. You can see that my “city” column is considerably thinner than my other columns. Any column which does NOT have a width set will stretch to fill the available area. ![19%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/0/0f5760e65743897d957fc9ccb91512ca8920e70e.png) If you want the column to always be EXACTLY some width, you should set the `props.columns[x].strictWidth` property to be `true` --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/change-column-width-of-table-in-perspective/27059)._
