Clustered bar chart

Is it possible in the horizontal bar chart increase labels length and decrease bars' length?

 

Thanks

    Hi Markzolotoy

    You can through the format of the visual to change the width of labels .

    Format => Y axis =>Inner padding to make the visualization larger

    But the length of bar is depending on its corresponding value . There is no way to customize this length .

    More info about Customize x-axis and y-axis properties can refer this link:

    Markzolotoy I don't believe that there are specific controls for that. However, you might check out the databars conditional formatting option instead of using a bar chart. Otherwise try custom visuals from the app store or R or Python visuals.

    Mark, I think the setting you are looking for is called "Maximum Size" in the "Y Axis" section in the Formatting pane of the  horizontal clustered column chart visual.  You can set it as high as 50% and that will make your labels as wide as they can be and will result in a decrease in the length of the bars.  Hope this is helpful!
