Label is truncated for bar chart with hierarchical categories

sande_ch — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 09:24:35 GMT

Hi there

I have a horizontal bar chart with hierarchical categories (category and subcategory). When displayed at the lowest data level, the category label is vertical. As a result, it cuts off the label if I only have a few subcategories. Is there a way to make the category label horizontal, or to create more space so that the label is not cut off?

Your visual likely won't fit on a regular sized screen. Consider using less data or choosing a different visual

Hi lbendlin

Thanks for the advice! I will try to display fewer categories so that the visual is shorter. However, the problem with the cut-off label will remain. Is there no solution / workaround for this?

Thanks!

Hi v-dineshya

I haven't submitted this as an idea in the Ideas Forum yet. If I do that, I will share the link here.

My solution for the length of the visual: I have programmed dynamic TopN and Others in the bar chart. This allows the customer to choose how many categories they want to see.

Thanks for the help!
