Reduce space between Callout values and Reference labels in Card (new)

Here is a card (new) visual that has a callout value, "YoY Growth", and three reference lables.  As you can see, the space between the callout value and the reference label is needlessly large:

I can't find anything that intentionally adjusts the space between the two.  I can, however, unintentionally adjust the space in the following ways.

 

1) I can turn on the Divider for reference labels, which seems to split the space between callout values and reference labels 50/50:

This gives me a 50/50 split, but I want to change this ratio to, say, 30/70.

Note that I'm aware I can change my reference labels to be rows instead of columns, but while this helps with being able to see the reference label titles, it does not help with the spacing (reference labels are left aligned, meaning the split between callout values and reference lables is ~70/30):

2) Strangely, the other way to adjust the spacing is by changing the Layout Overflow (to either Paginated or Continuous, it doesn't matter which, so long as you change it to whatever it wasn't):

Which results in changing the spacing to 50/50 between callout values and reference lables:

There's no real reason that should affect anything, so I assume it's just a quirk that might get fixed in a future update.

 

All other attempts at manually adjusting the spacing have not worked.  There is no combination of Padding or Alignment adjustments that seem to affect the spacing in any way that I've been able to find.  

 

If anyone has found anything, please let me know.

I had the same issue and finally I found the setting to change the proportion of space occupied by the callout value and reference labels! It is the "Callout size" setting within "Callout values" section: Callout values -> Layout -> "Callout size". Make sure you select "All" series to make this settign visible.

In addition, you have to turn on the divider option to allow this setting to be visible and work properly 😥

Specifically, you need to turn on divider option for both "All" series and your callout series.

Hey, 

If you keep the divider ON and set it's transparancy to 100% you are able to keep or define the proportion between the callout values and reference lables. 

Hope this helps 🙂

Your screenshot does not show the option of changing the proprotion!

Hi @AngryBIDev 

 

After my testing, Power Bi is now unable to achieve what you need. But I think your idea makes sense and you can submit an idea for it at: Home (microsoft.com) and wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you to help make it happen as soon as possible.

 

I also found a similar idea, you can also choose to vote for it.

Hopefully this will be possible in a future release.

 

Best Regards,
Yulia Xu
