column width

Table cell breadth

Column width is the horizontal measurement of a column—whether in a table, spreadsheet, page layout, or architectural structure.

In publishing and design, column width affects readability: narrow columns suit newspapers, wider columns suit books.

In spreadsheets, adjusting column width accommodates content: The names are cut off—increase the column width.
