Stacked column chart: Reduce the width between the column and sides

Hello, 

 

Is it possible to reduce the width between the column in a stacked column chart and sides of the chart (in the red boxes in the screenshot below)

I found this post with a similar question Bar/Column width in a stacked chart - Microsoft Fabric Community, but it was from a long time ago.

 

Thanks

Just go to layout option in the format option and reduce space between categories, and you are done.


Hope this helps!!

Hi @attempt1 ,

Select your column chart, and go to Format Pane, in the columns expand Layout and reduce space between categories as you need:

Hi @attempt1 ,

 

You can manage distance beetween columns in power BI "Stacked column Chart".

 

You can go to format option of visual and go to Column Section  > Layout option

 

in there there is option called space between categories please find screenshot of option below.
