When creating a "clustered column chart", is there any way I can widen how much the data columns use of the x-axis? Either widening how much of the X Axis is used, or adding space between data pints. Right now, I have about 12 data point columns, but they're all clustered in the middle of the x-axis (and hard to see). The screenshot below is maximized and the real chart will be much smaller. I have all this extra space to the left and right of the columns I'd like to utilize (see screenshot). Thanks!

Don't think it is possible to widen the bars. If you just want to add space in betwene the bars, a workaround would be to put the same data field in both the legend as well as the axis.
