I have the following bar chart :
Each bar is a different value (all in %)
I like the chart but it's too clustered and most of the space is empty. I would like to increase the space between the chart but I can't find the option.
Is it possible to increase the space between the bar somehow (and use the whole space instead of just the center) ?

@Arkhos94 , Ah yes you did not mention that they were all different measures. Measures can only go in 'Values'. You could try a custom visual if you're comfortable using those? https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps?product=power-bi-visuals&search=column&page=1 They often have more formatting options available.

@amitchandak : the padding allowed me to make it a bit bigger. That's not perfect that's already a bit better
@AllisonKennedy : all of my values are custom measure (like market share, percentage of objective done...13 different measure right now and likely up to 16/20 when I will be done). I tried putting them in legend or axis but power bi doesn't accept
@Arkhos94 You could put the same column in Legend and Axis:

Hello,
I didn't use any axis value. I have all my KPI's in the value part of the chart and nothing in axis or legend
