Resizing Indicator in Power Bi Report Builder

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

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
