Space out columns values with same date axis

Dont seem to find a clear answer on this anywhere..is there a way to space out the columns on my chart with the same (year) axis? Is there a different approach to my +20%,+40%,+60% measures that Im not thinking about ?

    Using the default clustered bar chart, there is a clumsy way which involves creating measure which return blank and place them between the other measures (though I haven´t found a way to change the colour for the legend)

     Or you can create a new table with the % Values:

     

    and use the % Value field as the x-axis, the Fiscal Year for the "column series"  and create this measure for the values:

    Values =
    SWITCH (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( '% Table'[% Value] ),
        "+20%", [FY FC based on PY YTG (20%)],
        "+40%", [FY FC based on PY YTG (40%)],
        "+60%", [FY FC based on PY YTG (60%)]
    )
    

    You can then use the formatting options for the x-axis to get:

    Hi, AldoJavier26 ;

    You could use custom visual-Definitive Logic PBI Clustered Column Chart with Custom Labels; 

    The final output is shown below:

    In addition ,you also could create two blank measure.

    blank1 = 
    blank2 = 

    The final output is shown below:

      Thank you for these options. Personally I dont love the blank measure option and for my purposes, the alternate visual does not allow you to update the display unit
