Clustered Bar Chart Width

[Cam_Nielsen]

Working with a clustered bar chart and wanted to check if my process is feasible - lots of things I want to tweak with this chart but there is one major issue that I would like to see if there is a solution to prior to proceeding with this method:

The bar width of this chart does not allow for the user to see the data or any sort of data labels. I cannot increase the bar width by any means as it has the minimum category height capped at 180 px. This is very frustrating given that the vertical space is maybe 30% occupied and makes this chart basically unreadable. Is there any good way to display ~25 columns with data labels that is intelligible?

Have you considered the use of custom visuals like Deneb?

I have tried branching out to other visuals - PowerBI is about the least intuitive thing I have ever worked with and 99% plus of the online information skips past data ingestion right to report formatting or just uses hardcoded data which is useless for someone starting from scratch.

I have made some very minor progress trying to display a box and whisker plot for a column of values (something trivially easy to do in excel or any other software package). I had to create a distinct index number to even get data to show but the program for some reason still insists on requiring multiple axes for a box and whisker plot which is inherently 1 dimensional!

It is immensely unintuitive to need to provide a unique id for each table row and then also specify to pull the max value for each of those (unique) rows and then for the program to still not allow you to calculate this as a single chart much less allow me to generate multiple box and whisker plots off of different columns.

(obviously this complaint is limited to DataScenarios box and whisker chart visual add-in but its honestly the same struggle with every form of visualization available)
