Add shadow to bars inside a chart, like Excel graphs

Hi all,

 

I'm actually surprised that I haven't read a similar question here before. See attached this Excel-graph. Is it possible to add drop shadow/3D to the bars/charts/columns themselves, instead of the outside edge of the visual? Excel offers this as standard.

I've seen custom 3D-visuals that all seem rather complicated, whereas I would expect a simple option under the formatting pane.

I'd be really helped with a solution 🙂

Kind regards,

 

Felix

@x-File , I doubt you have an option for that as of now. You can use custom visual
