My data has a single value for each hour in a 7 day timeframe. I want to display it as a column chart.
I did just that, and the columns are too thin and skinny. Is there a way to make them wider?
Column chart
I've tried using both stacked and clustered charts - but in both cases the spacing is the same.
If I switch the x axis from continous to categorical, the chart looks much better - but then not all of my values are displayed (I have 168 values).
Is there a way to make the columns wider?

@v-yuta-msft - thanks! I've purposed the idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/37106872-ability-to-adjust-column...
@Anonymous , that option exists only for Categorical axis. For continuous axis, there is no such option
In a line and stacked column chart, under the formatting pane --> X-Axis, you can adjust the inner padding to be smaller. That should widen your columns.

@SN1 ,
I'm afraid currently stacked bar chart only can change the size of label and text in X-axis and Y-axis. I would suggest you to submit your idea here to help improve power bi.
