Good evening,  
I created a bar chart in Quick Sight. I was wondering how to increase/decrease the bin size as needed. I couldn’t find where I can do so.  
Thank you

Hello @desmat !

Have you tried using the zoom bar on the side of the visual?

Good afternoon Duncan,  
Thank you for your response. This is what I noticed:  
1- If it’s a vertical/horizontal bar chart and there is no legend on the graph, the bin size is big enough.

2- If it’s a vertical/horizontal bar chart and I add a legend on the graph, the bin size gets very small.

3- If it’s a vertical/horizontal **stacked** bar chart, the bin size is big enough regardless of whether there is a legend on the graph.

In my case, I need to display a legend. The vertical/horizontal stacked bar chart is what works best.

Thank you
