There are three certainties in life; death, taxes and running out of space on your dashboard.
We've all been there, right? Our business users want to squeeze "just one more sheet" onto an already crowded view. If that sheet is a bar chart, I've got a space saving tip for you. Could you overlay the dimensional labels at the beginning of the bars to save some space?
This won't work in every circumstance (if there are lengthy labels or short bars), but it is a handy trick to have up your sleeve when you're in a tight spot!
