Hi,
I have two columns in the table with duration time.
Current Data Bars length is according to min and max value in their column.
In such a situation it is not possible to visually compare two columns, because the maximum and minimum values in each column are different. (A 2 hours and 20-minute bar look the same.)
In the settings you can adjust the size of the bar according to the minimum and maximum in the same column and not according to two columns ...
Does anyone know a better way to present a visual comparison between two columns?
@Anonymous this is also a matrix visual which you are using in your file. You can make it look better by formatting the matrix table and using proper color comibnation. It is upto us to take our dashboard/visual to the next level.
