Increasing the size of the bars in a continuous bar chart
Hello,
I have made a continuous bar chart that shows data for each day. The bars show up really skinny, even though they are stacked, and there is only one time point per day. Is there a way that I can make them bigger? I would like to keep the data as continuous, as there are some days where no data is shown, and it is important to show this.
Thank you for any help, Sophie 🙂

Edit sheet, find the [Presentation] section, click on the '>' to the right of 'Styling', then click on the [Chart] tab.
There should be "Outline" and color Dropdowns, and a "Bar Width" slider. Slide that over to "1" and you should have nice, fat bars.

Hello,
Thank you for your message. I followed your advice, and this is how the styling options look.
I have noticed that when the scale is not continuous, I can alter the size of the bars, but on the continuous scale it won't let me. Do you have any advice?
Thanks, Sophie 🙂

Ah, I see what you mean. The answer is don't use continuous scale, because you don't have continuous data; you have discrete data.
