How to reduce width between bars in a bar chart?

Hi,

I need help/tips in Qlik bar chart presentation. We are on Sep 2020 version. 

I have attached charts from excel and Qlik. Qlik bar chart is taking space if we want to show all the dimension values (without scroll bar). We need something similar to excel reporting as these go to a PDF for presentation. Something that consume less real estate. So Is there a way to reduce gap between dimension bars as shown in the attachments.

Bar chart on excel is consuming less space than Qlik. Are they any tips to get Qlik report close to the excel one.

can you adjust bar and cluster distance in presentation tab

Right click in graph -> properties -> presentation -> bar distance.

Hi, we are on Qlik sense Sep 2020 version. I can't find right click -> properties option. But properties panel on right hand side didn't have bar distance option under presentation . Tries options under styling as well, didn't work Attached screenshot here.

Hi @Mani_K 

i think there is not a option for that in 2020 version to change the width of the bars, but you should be able to select how many values to shows

in newer versions you can change the width in presentation options

Hi @RafaelBarrios ,

Thank you for the reply. Styling option is available in Sep 2020 and under styling, adjust bar width option is adjusting bar width within a dimension value. This is not saving overall real estate of a chart. I am looking to reduce bar distance between dimensions.
