Cluster bar chart - Bar width

I have read all the posts about this topic but I don't think there is a solution to have a cluster bar width customised to my needs, regardless of the number of categories in the Y chart. There is the option to  select 'maximum width' but that still doesn't do the trick, when there are many categories on the bar. Is PBI planning to add an option to customise cluster charts and can you add that to the proposed future developments? I am a Tableau user as well and Tableau has that option.

 

Here is how my chart looks like at the moment, the labels are squeezed, some not visible. I want to have a way to increase the width of each bar and space between them:

Hi @asozanska 

There's an option to increase/decrease the space between series and categories.

Here is how my chart looks like at the moment, the labels are squeezed, some not visible. I want to have a way to increase the width of each bar and space between them - you mean to add a gap between the longest bar and the end of the visual? If so, you can write a measure that checks the max value of all the selected categories in the chart and multiply that by a number.

Max Sales Amount Bar Width = 
MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Date'[Month Short] ), [Sales Amt] ) * 1.5

 Use that as the dynamic max range of the X-axis. Notice that there's quite a gap after the Nov blue bar.

@asozanska Don't hold your breath on improvements to visuals. You can submit ideas in the Ideas forum but probably won't do you any good. https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-Ideas/idb-p/fbc_ideas
