Bar/Column width in a stacked chart

Hi folks,

 

how can I reduce the amount of space wasted to the left and right?:

I 've found some options, but there are already max values selected and I still miss a lot of space...

I know it has to be possible, because even on Microsoft's official homepage there is a chart with such a looking:

Ok, so I have localized the problem: If you only use "Values"-Field for your vizualization the bars are stacked in the middle. In comparison, if you also use "Axis"-Field, they are distributed among the whole width:

But I don't have any category I want to vizualize, I just have some independent counts...Any solutions for this case?

Hi @eniX,

In your resouce, there is only counts without other field? In the stackec chart, there is no field displayed in X-Axis, only the counts value displayed in Y-Axis? If it is, it's impossible in to show the counts in different bars because they can not category the counts value.

Best Regards,
Angelia
