Thin columns in column chart when using time as axis
Update: Please vote for the idea to make this happen
---
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?

Anonymous , that option exists only for Categorical axis. For continuous axis, there is no such option

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.
