Nested bar chart categories not fill up the total width?

The example visualisations, guidelines, and articles all show it fill up. My one is shown below. It makes it hard to click and see the category.

    I believe it may be because your x-axis and series are the same field. Or perhaps that your y axis aggregation is the same as your series or x axis. I was able to replicate this by having the x axis and series the same field.

    If I solved your problem, please select "yes" above

    Hi ColemenWilson,

    I did a couple of combinations with:

    • x-axis
    • y-axis
    • series

    …and the x-axis and series need to be different.

    The x and y axises produce the same result when same or different.

    Here is a sample of when the x-axis and series is the same below. It's still quite thin

    No what I am saying is that when they are the same, you will get the result you pictured above. The idea of a nested bar chart would be, for example, to have products as bars and product categories as nests. If a product is both the bar and nest it will look like what you have pictured above.

    I have the variables different (pictured in the original query), and the bars were showing quite thin.
