bar graph format
How do I get Bar Graph to have more space and line up with it's data source? What I have: Spacing and line up I'm wanting:
Hi inglexjc,
- When using multiple measures in a bar chart, Power BI places all the bars on the same axis line. This means the bars are treated as different series within a single category, resulting in no vertical spacing between them and misalignment with category labels.
- To achieve the desired layout—where each bar appears on its own row with proper spacing—we need to restructure the data by unpivoting the measures into a single column. This transforms each measure into a category, allowing Power BI to plot one bar per row, apply vertical spacing (via inner padding), and align bars correctly with their labels.
