Column & Bar Settings

Column & Bar Settings control the width of bars and the spacing between groups in Column and Bar chart types. Configured in the Series Design step.

These settings are only visible for Column and Bar chart types; they do not appear for Line, Area, or other Cartesian types.

How to Access

1. Navigate to the Series Design step in the wizard (Step 5).
2. Find the Column/Bar Settings section.

Parameters

Field	Description	Range	Default
Column Width	Width of each bar as a fraction of the total space allocated for that data point. 1.0 = fills slot with no gap; 0.5 = uses half the available width.	0.0 – 1.0	—
Column Gap	Space between adjacent grouped columns in a multi-series chart, expressed as a fraction of the column width. 0.0 = columns touching; 1.0 = gap equals full column width.	0.0 – 1.0	—

Tips

• Column Gap has no effect in single-series charts; it is only meaningful in multi-series grouped charts.
• A smaller Column Width (e.g. 0.6) leaves breathing room between bars in narrow dashboards.
• Set Column Gap to 0.0 to render columns touching each other side by side.
