Bar charts - side-by-side

Hi, I have created a bar chart with two group-by and would like to visualize them side-by-side. However, the bars appears VERY thin - any idea why?

Hi @Lars Egelund 

 

This is an expected behavior, if we use stacked bars then the bar width will be normal but if we enable "grouped bars" for stack by then the graph will show the bars as line, it is expected behaviour and I think it was designed this way as there could be more than 2 combinations can occur for Group by field value & stacked by field. For example, if I selected Priority as group by and Category as stacked by and assume we have 6 category values then system should show 6 side by side bars for each priority value which makes the visualization to occupy more real estate on the page

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately this makes it unusable in my view.

I am not sure this is the correct solution.  My chart has no group by or stacked by options, only three data sources, and is appearing in the same way as for Lars. Thin bars on chart.png

In any case, if something is unusable I am not sure it can be tagged as solved.  I am not aware of a valid business reason for the bars to be unreadable to an end user.
