Hi All: How can I stop my indicators being resized because of the auto text wrap applied on the column to the left (Sub Category)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Typical in SSRS report ...
Insert rectangle and then add the indicator ...
Hope this helps!

SSRS 2008 R2 - Keep Indicators From Stretching
SSRS indicator sizing
Set CanGrow property to false for the matrix/table cell.
And yes the first step for a new 'bare' matrix/table cell is to insert a rectangle object within the cell.
Then insert your Indicator/Guage object.
Further note to future self. The actual size of the graphic object can be controlled via the ScaleFactor property.
ScaleFactor value range is 0..1 ie 0 to 100% of size. Thus one can not make larger dynamically. All one can do is make the graphic object larger manually and scale down.

Thank you. I will try the workaround. I think I heard about this solution previuosly. Just couldn't remember at the time when I posted my issue.
Cheers
It looks interesting, does the workaround work in Power BI Report Builder?
Thanks.
yes
