Hi All
Is there any reason why my axis labels won't align with the centre of my columns?
I've tried all the formatting methods I can think of and even checked to see if it was due to the size of the chart but nothing seemed to bring them into alignment
Oddly, 1 measure appears to be offset to the left and the other to the right so they are almost joined in the middle
Any ideas?
I'm facing the same issue
An old topic, but I ran into the same problem. The bars are not aligned, as actually for each label there are two bars, but the other, being zero height, does not show. The solution is to switch from "Clustered column chart" to "Stacked column chart".
This fixed for me. I'll say this should be accepted as solution.
Can you provide a picture of the issue?
The axis labels should align by default if they can fit under the column. If your labels are too long you should try to use the stacked bar chart instead.

I don't think they're too long (could be wrong) as I've got other axis titles of a similar length and I tried to copy their settings but that didn't work either
Hi, I am also facing same kind of issue.
yes, I am having legend . Is there any solution to fix the column in center.
If you have a legend you should be able to solve this by changing the chart to a stacked column chart. How does it look if you try?
/ J
No, no legend on this one - it won't let me add a legend for the relevant fields/measures for some reason (forgive me, I've only been working with Power BI for about 3/4 weeks)
