Making "Maximum category width" smaller in "Line and clustered column chart"

Hello, 

 

I would like to make a report, presentling the monthly data for 6 years, meaning 6 x 12 = 72 columns, and the requirements are such that  - there should be no scrollbar, in other words, the column width has to be quite small.

But in PBI, using "Line and clustered column chart" the smallest width looks like is 20, and therefore the scrollbal gets introduced.

Q: Is it possible to make the chart having smaller column widht than 20?

 

Thank you.

@vlialko unfortunately not. One thing you can do is the column you are using x-axis, make it a date type, and change the format the way you want it (YYYY-MM), using the date column x-axis will eliminate that issue assuming the x-axis type on the format pane is set to continuous.
