    Hi ironryan77,

     

    Currently, specifying the X, Y position is the best choice to set the alignment of a visual to make them look tidy. I can get the output as below, however, as you said, it still exists some defect, they are not positioned parallel and symmetrically exactly.

     

    You can submit this issue at https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and service. Appreciate for your understanding.

     

    Best regards,

I noticed this when I had a series of card visuals setup close together in a grid. It was not an issue for me in Desktop but would be out of alignment by one pixel here or there once deployed to Service.

    Thanks for the helps.  I'm not new to reporting, however.  I have developed using other report software for 10 years now.  I think this has to do with focus.  Here are screenshots of the same slicers.  The first example is with the Visualization and Field panes hidden, and the second is with them fully expanded.
