Hi Yosief,

We would suggest you to review this help article here that describes how to use the relevant BarOverLapPercent and BarWidthPercent properties of RadChart.

Hi Manuel

The info in the link does not help. Let me give you some more info.

My X-Column is a string data type and my Y-column is integer.

Hi Manuel

My X-Column is a string data type and my Y-column is integer. And I have only one series.

Hi Yosief,

We are unsure why your specific project cannot take benefit from the BarWidthPercent property -- please review the attached sample application and let us know how it goes.

Hi Manuel

Thanks. It worked great once I did the following

    .DataGroupColumn = ""
    .PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.Visible = Auto

Dear Telerik Team,

I think you should work more on the RadChart control, I do not care about how much beautiful it is, what am care about it is to deal with this control as it is in excel. I spend more than 10 hours trying to change the colomn width into fixed, but I could not do so, could you please help.

Regards,

What I have done:
Set Xaxis.autoscale=False
Set the Xaxis Minvalue=1   ---Through Propertires window
Set the Xaxis Maxvalue=3   ---Through Propertires window

set the Xaxis items(2).visible=false ---Through Propertires window
set the Xaxis items(3).visible=false ---Through Propertires window

Hello Yosief,

Unfortunately it is not possible to set explicit static pixel width for the Bar series type -- you can achieve similar effect by setting manually static range for the XAxis like this (you can combine it with BarWidthPercent if appropriate):

RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AutoScale = false;
RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.MinValue = 1;
RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.MaxValue = 10;
RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Step = 1;

RadChart1.DataSource = new int[] { 1, 10, 5, 2, 11 };
RadChart1.DataBind();

All the best,
