    Is it possible to make a single bar in a stacked chart wider than they appear by default?
    It takes more space in a chart, to increase a bar, need to increase a size of whole chart then only it is visible.
    Can we get a option to increase the width of a single bar stacked chart?

    Without this possibility management might choose another tool.

    As a visual the current bar chart provides far too much white space unless I have many categories.

    Surely best idea would be to vary width of blank space between bars (minimum 0), perhaps as a proportion of the bar width; we use date based column charts with time brush, so really need column width to increase as you zoom in

    Please, update Power BI with this feature. It's really important.

    Please. The amount of space these things take up when used in ToolTips is pretty brutal.
