Matrix visual data bars width

I'm new to Power BI. 
I have a problem with the matrix visual data bars' column width. The second column (Sum of Sales Amount) is not stretched all the way to fit the whole box, which makes the data bars short and not clear. 
(See the Image attached)

Hi @Boulder05 ,

 

The way the data bars work, they fill only up to the  width of the column and not the whole width of the matrix.  Alternatively, you can duplicate your original measure, add it to the matrix, remove the data bars from the first measure and show only the data bars (without the value) in the second measure, extend the column width all the way to the right and change the text color of the total so it isnt visible. You should get something like below:
