If a Lightning table column feels a bit cramped, you can resize it.

Resize a Lightning table column from the Edit Component preview or while reading a dashboard.

You can resize columns, but not rows.

When you resize a column, you don't resize it for other dashboard viewers.

Columns don't retain their sizes, so next time you open the dashboard you'll have to resize the column again.

1. Open the table that you want to resize.
2. Drag the edge of the column that you want to resize.![Resizing a Lightning table column](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/analytics/images/rd/rd_dashboards_resize_columns.png)
