You could do this if you were using the chartwell bars font AND the auto-resize as Eugene suggests in his post.

You would have to change the width of the chartwell bar font using the character scaling.

See this post https://creativepro.com/chartwell-bars-scalable-data-merge-shapes.php to get an idea of what i’m talking about.

Catch is, chartwell isn’t free – US$139 last time i checked.
