Why so much space between my columns??

Ok pic shows best :

rpinxt_0-1666082852825.png

So I have 3 layers in there (Quater, month and the group).

The group has 4 option I only selected 2 here (Inflow and Rework).

That group is sorted by ID and 1 = Inflow and 2 = Reworked.

So I would think these 2 columns would be right next to eachother....but as you can see they are not.

Adding a 3rd gives the same again so much space.

 

Set padding to 0 but then the column from the months come closer together!

And that is certainly not what I want.

How can I center de columns within the month? 🤔

Ok I see when I go up one level higher it looks fine:

You cannot see the group name but the legend takes care off that.

Guess in the lowest level it will always automatically generate so much space between the columens...

 

If there is no proper solution I will just put it in a level higher view.

Thanks @v-luwang-msft but for some reason that option is not there for me.

I am using clusterd column chart but for me it looks like :
