Is it possible to make bars in a stacked chart wider than they appear by default?
I'd like a wide 100% stacked bar to represent my data, but would have to make a bar chart unfeasibly large to get the bar wide enough. Currently I'm using a treemap for the visualisation, but they change shape and order depending on the data values.
Solved! Go to Solution.
For single bar in chart, this can be a problem. I recommend you submit a feature request about adding a size property under Format tab for stacked chart visualization on: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas

In Power BI, the width of bars in stacked/100%stacked column chart is also based on data values. Since the shape of a bar is measured with other bars as well, we have to resize entire chart to resize those bars.
Regards,
I understand that's how it currently works, but if you look at other chart products (such as Excel), you can resize the width of bars to be more visually pleasing.
See this screenshot as an example of how much space gets wasted:

The bar (the actual star of the show), takes up around 20% of the chart area. It's not good.

This is not a solution.
