Description

Hi, If I want to define the column width, I need to add to almost every width a value of 0.71. So if I want a width of 12, I need actually to define it like column.width = 12.71. Only when it comes to the width of less then 1, this addition actually varies.

Does anybody have an experience, what could cause such a behavior?

Thanks

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the column width calculation logic in the exceljs library, specifically how the width property is stored and converted. Look for any rounding or scaling factors that might cause the observed offset of 0.71 units.
