After applying Group/Color for Bars, the bar width becomes thinner. How to control the bar width or make it thicker?

Hi @lbl, this is expected as the chart leaves spaces for different group colors for each of the X axis instance. If your data expect all of the X axis (SelCountryDisp) instance to have single group only, the simple solution is to switch to stacked bar combo chart rather than clustered combo chart. I hope this helps.

Thanks, @ytakahr

I need the feature of Small Multiples and Group/Color For Bars, which visual can be used so that bar width is not affected?

Vertical bar chart (as well as line and pie chart) supports small multiples, but I don’t think that will achieve your goal as small multiples also try to keep the spaces for all dimension instances. Like the example below with some random data.

Does my above suggestion of using stacked bar combo chart doesn’t work? @lbl

hi @ytakahr
stacked bar combo chart works fine if I do not need Small Multiple feature.
As you updated, I will have to live with extra spaces for Vertical bar chart with Small Multiples.

Thanks!

Thanks for your response, @lbl. I understood that you also need to present your visual in small multiples format. As this is not possible with stacked bar chart, I attached the feature-request tag and archived this post for product team’s review. Thank you for your question and feedback.
