Hello,
I need to set up fixed column width but when I configure it in the table tool it doesn't  generate correctly on the Excel file.
This is my configuration:

I am sorry, I understood the problem as needing to make your table wide enough for your data which I think we have addressed. Why do you need the columns to be exact sizes if it fits the data?

It is a client requirement to use those width sizes.

Then instead of using the Table tool, I would just set your sizes in Excel and "Preserve Formatting on overwrite" in an Output Data tool - just make sure you set the Excel range!

on the render tool, change the paper size to custom and make the sizing LARGE to allow for plenty of room

@danettedavis this was suggested earlier in the conversation!

I used the overwrite feature because I didn't achieve the expected result with the table tool.
