Stacked Column, Squeeze All Bars into chart without showing horizonal scroll

Hi wonka1234 

You can’t fully turn off the horizontal scroll when there are too many categories, but you can make more room by:

• Reduce the font size & adjust visual padding

  Go to Format pane > X-axis > Text size and lower it.

  Under General > Padding, reduce the inner and outer padding to fit more bars.

• If your X-axis is a date/time field, set the axis type to Continuous instead of Categorical. This usually fits more values without scrolling.

• Also try Increase the width of your chart.

  Under X-axis > Concatenate labels, turn it off and rotate the labels (e.g., 45° or 90°) so more categories are visible.

I believe you cannot to that on bar charts but you can surely do that on a line chart as there you can have a continous x axis and not a categorical one. This is by definition impossibile on bar charts as they are native categorical
