Could anyone explain this for me?

For example, In the [All vendors] form, when clicking right mouse > Export all rows, the data could be export to Excel.
My question is that the column widths is not properly setup as that in grid.
I need to double click my mouse to adjust the widths in Excel.
Why could NOT it automatically be adjusted when exporting the data?

Hi Daniel,

Excel is not aware of the actual contents that will be copied into the cells. You can use the Dynamics connector and create a template in Excel where you can pre-manage the width. Luckily Excel has the option to quickly adjust the width of the columns.
