Bar graphs getting cut off?

[MeggieD00dles]

I have a series of bar graphs have between 2-3 datapoints in the x axis, but for whatever reason Power BI cannot seem to properly format the end bars. Picture A shows what my graph looks like in "continuous" mode, and you can see the first and last bar are tiny compared to the others, with a wide space in between the datapoints. Picture B shows what the same graph looks like in "categorical" mode, which is slightly better, but I want there to be some space deliniating each section by year. Does anyone have any advice on getting Power BI to show all the bars as the same width?

Hi  @MeggieD00dles ,

You can try the following settings:

X – axis  -- Type – set Categorical

Columns – Spacing – inner padding – set 0 px

Thank you! I was able to change the column spacing after I switched the type to "Categorical" and it maintained the adjustment when I switched it back to "Continuous"
