HI @rm29606 ,

 

I thnk you are using a Clustered column Chart. There is no option to have a space betweeen different categories

 

these are the option available under x -axis in Clustered Column chart, but no option for space in between the bars (categories)

You can check the trick mentioned.

Else you can us the Stacked Column Chart and increase padding.

Hi @rm29606 ,

 

This will be solved by increasing the Inner padding property in Format pane.

 

Step 1. Click Format pane icon under visualizations

click this iconclick this icon

Step 2. In search box type inner.

Step 3. You can see the inner padding under X axis and increase the inner padding as much as you want to acquire your requirment.

Please refer the below image,

@rm29606 , I do not see any padding option. You can choose static Start and End to get more space.
