Control Height or Thickness of Bars On Bar Chart

[UncleLewis]

Hi,

Using PBID Nov, 2025.
Is it possible to control the height or thickness of the bars in a bar chart?
I have 10+ categories and limited vertical space on the canvas
I prefer that the bars maintain a certain thichness than scale very thin to fit all categories in the space available.
If I show the first 5 is is fin if the user has to scroll down to see the long tail.

I tried playing around with layout settings - did not help.

Thanks,
w

@UncleLewis , Other than my last suggestion, you can also try. y_axis-> Min Category Height

Hi @UncleLewis 

Do you need the 0K measure? If not, removing that should thicken the bars. Otherwise, you can turn on overlap as what @amitchandak  has already suggested and play around with the space between series to achieve the  desired thickness.
