Axis labels far from line

Hello, I have a simple problem, so I would love for it to have a simple solution 🙂

I am using a stacked bar and for some reason my X-axis data labels are positioned far from the line.

I would like them to be under the bars, without any unnecessary spacing.

I tried a lot of things, but no luck. When I change a column used as Axis, the space is gone, but I need this one.

It is formatted as Whole numbers.

Thanks in advance.

      Thank you for your answer. Luckily, I reached a solution. After filtering out individual categories, the space was going and coming back. I found out the problem was with bar "2016" which actually consists of 2 categories, and the one that is too small to be visible is negative. So the minus pushes the labels down, even though it is practically invisible. Best regards 🙂

       

      P.S. I am on the latest version, and it would be nice if the distance of labels from the axis could be modified, as we can do in Excel graphs. It would help in these kinds of situations.
