Hello, do you have any column properties where the size is automatic?
In the example below I set the fixed size to 130px, the more accurate the size is automatic, according to the cell content.

getGridSettings: function () {       
        var settings = {
            excel: {
                allPages: true
            },
            dataSource: GridAdmissionTrackerPublic.getGridDataSource(),
            navigatable: false,
            editable: true,
            sortable: true,
            scrollable: true,
            filterable: true,
            selectable: true,
            persistSelection: true,
            resizable: true,
            height: $(window).height() - 207,
            noRecords: {
                template: function (e) {
                    return "No items to display";
                }
            },
            pageable: {
                pageSizes: [30, 50, 100, 'All'],
                refresh: true
            },
            columns: [
                {
                    field: "StudentId",
                    title: "ID",
                    locked: true,
                    lockable: false,
                    resizable: true,
                    width: 130,
                    overflow: true,
                    minwidth: "100px",
                    minResizableWidth: 70,

Hello Ednaldo,

If you omit the width property for all columns they will automatically fit within the table container.

Another option is to use the autoFitColumn() or autoFitColumns() methods which will apply the minimum possible width for the specified column or all so that all text fits without wrapping. Here is an article with a runnable example demonstrating this:

Hope this helps.
