Resizing bar width in stacked column chart
Hi All - I am making a stacked column chart where only the first four bars have two values. I would like to increase the width of the columns, but cannot figure out how to do that.
- Hi Anonymous,
On the options go to x-axis and find the minimum category width maximum size and inner padding that adjust the size of the bars.
Some of this options are only available if you have the x-axis as categorical, not on continuous.

I had the same problem. I solved it by changing the category axis from automatic (date) to a text axis.
To force bars to touch exactly, you can:
1. Convert the x-axis back to a Category Axis
- Right-click the x-axis → Format Axis
- Under Axis Type, choose Text axis (instead of Date axis)
2. Set Gap Width to 0%
- Right-click any bar → Format Data Series
- Set Gap Width to 0%
This treats each week as a discrete category and removes all spacing between bars.
