chart column width
Ah, I see the issue now and was able to recreate what you are seeing. Basically this is happening because you do not have anything on the Axis. For example, if you had a column "Month" and another column "Value" then you would put Month in your Axis and Value in your Value and then you would not have this issue. You might try pivoting your data on import.
Community ChampionHow are you expanding the column visualization to 11". I can only set this in terms of pixels. Generally, you place the chart visualization (I assuming column chart here, is this a different visualization?), add your Axis and Value and the drag the visualization to be the desired width and your columns will get wider or narrower. Are you on the January update of Power BI Desktop?
yes just a standard clustered column chart and the chart is 11 inches.
This works perfect in excel using the same datasource.
But in power Bi, all the columns remain very narrow and only in the center of the chart (2 1/4" out of 11 ").
Sorry yes, I updated the latest version yesterday
