Change Bar Width - Line & Clustered column chart

Hi,
I have created a chart, example 1, in my BI report. I want to create a chart like Example 2, where the bar width is changed. I think its easy - but not for me 🙂 So, is this possible? 

 

Example 1

Add more data points ?

No, that will not help. 
I have much more datapoints than is shown in the above example (example 1). The visualization has to be very wide to display all. I want a more narrow visualization, showing just thin lines instead - is that possible to change? 

Hi @lbendlin !

So I want to remove the "scroll bar" - so the visualization can be more narrow with thin lines.

At this point an area chart may be more appropriate.

Hi @lbendlin 
No, actually not. It's the same problem with an area chart.

You are right, an area chart is not appropriate as there is no correlation between the projects.

 

There are technical and physiological limits on how much data you can cram onto the screen.  Use less data or see if you can aggregate.  Avoid horizontal scroll bars.
