I have a Stacked Column Chart with a Date Hierarchy on the X Axis. Whenever I use 'Continuous' as the X-Axis Type, and when there are two columns, they get populated on either ends. I also have similar problems when there are very few dates. It looks like the below chart.
The chart is spaced a lot better when in Categorical X-Axis type.
I'd prefer to leave it at Continuous, as when I drill down to Dates, then it doesn't try to squeeze in every single date.
I managed to resolve this by placing the year under the legend and removing the year from the x axis and just using month
@dpc_development you need to change the x-axis type to "Categorical" from "Continuous" on the formatting pane.

@dpc_development although you already tried it, when you are using number and date columns on the x-axis and type is continuous it automatically distributes the data points in the width of the visual. I don't see there is any other way to adjust it except what @Pragati11 suggested.

HI @dpc_development ,
The axis on my chart is not TEXT, it is a DATE Hierarchy. Even on your chart if you drill-down from Year to Quarter, etc., you will get same. 🙂
There are 2 more options on the x-axis:
You will have try these with different settings to get what you are looking for.
Thanks,
Pragati
