Hi,

You can resize the object inside chart by selecting the chart and pressing Ctrl + Shift.

Manish,

It won't reduce the width of the bar inside the bar chart, it will reduce only the whole object size not the bar size.

Thanks,

Raghu.

Go to the properties of the bar chart and click the Presentation tab.

You will see bar settings (Bar distance and Cluster distance). Bar distance size will decide the distance of two charts of the same dimension (For ex: If you use grouped as subtype and you have two bars for one date in the dimension) and Cluster distance size will decide the distance between two bars (for different dates in the dimension).

Hope this is what you want.

Well, that's how you do it. If it isn't working for you, I don't know what to say.

I agree with John that the only way to +/- bar is via bar distance under presentation tab.

Hi,

I know it's too late for the original question but if someone else is still interested in the answer
the bar width depend on the number of values your dimension can display

Exemple : you have 2 charts displaying the same expression on 2 differents dimensions and you want to display the values from 1 to 10 in your two charts (limited with axes tab maximum scale = 10)

If your dimension 1 contains values from 1 to 100 and your second dimension has values from 1 to 30, the bars of the 1st graph will be finer than the second one

If you want to change the width of your bars you have to restrict the number of values of your dimension by putting a calculated dimension (in my case =if([Dimension]>24,25,[Dimension])
