Widening bar chart width

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have tried to look at other posts for the solution but none of them seem to work for me. Please see the bar chart image. I tried going to the x-axis to adjust the width and height but no matter what number I increase it to, nothing happens. This seems to be a huge PBI limitation, no? FYI, each of these bars represent the same metric but for different individuals. Thank you!

@Anonymous , change of start and end of x-axis between 90-100 or 80-100. There few padding option see if those can help

Thanks, but I do not see "Start" and "End" options in the format view, for what I have created.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Would you please try to use the options in the X-axis:

Minimum category width lets you force the bars to be wider, enabling more readable data labels (but more scrolling).

Maximum size lets you increase the percentage of the visual the axis labels will take up, which can make the visual more readable if the labels are long.

And finally inner padding controls the gap between the bars in proportion to the bar size.

I slided the Minimum Category Width and Maximum Size back and forth - did nothing. The Inner Padding widened the bars by a teensy bit but as you can see, bars are still so narrow that there is a lot of empty space to left and right of them. ☹️ Thanks.
