KPI Card (New) Spacing Issues in Power BI Desktop and Service
Hi,dylankaiser4
I am glad to help you.Thank you for your reply.
I think it may be a versioning issue, as some users have reported problems with the new card in Power BI Desktop after updating to the June version, and our power BI team has internally reported problems with the new card in the latest June version of Desktop. The engineers on the product team are now aware and will do their best to resolve the issue.Could you please check if your version of Desktop is the June version, because when I tested the May version, I had the same settings as you did, but I did not get the error you are experiencing!
We are verifying this issue and until it is resolved, you can roll back to the May version.
If you want to rollback to May version you can refer to this link

Hi Anonymous, thank you for responding to my post.
Toggling the preview feature for the New Card Visual did not work for me.
To be more clear, my issue is more focused on the reference label spacing and how the title/values are being cut off despite the available space.
Screenshot of the Format Pane on the Layout section:
With the file you attached, I was able to mirror the issue. When adding reference labels and setting the layout arrangement of the reference lables to Rows and Tabualr Style, the issue is reproduced.
Hi,dylankaiser4
I am glad to help you.
Thank you very much for reproducing the problem for me, here are my test results
Thank you very much for reproducing the problem for me, here are my test results
1. Continue to use the "tabular" layout
This layout will allow the content to display the data in a table-like format, but since the length of the cells inside the table is limited, the content will be omitted if it is too long, I suggest you modify the percentage to allow the results to fit the size of the card, or just zoom in on the new card visual to give the internal MEASUREMENTS name more display space
2. Use the "sentiment" layout instead.
The "silence" layout will make the content linked together in sentences, no matter how narrow the width of the card is, the content will be displayed on a separate line and will not be omitted.
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Thank you Anonymous.
I have implemented the sentance style as a short term fix.
When I update the value area in Power BI Service or Power BI Desktop, setting it to 30%, there is still a lot of white space off to the right of the value.

Power BI Desktop
Do you also experience this same issue, Anonymous?

We have found the same issue in a report developed with the May version, when updating to June, it does not show the margin correctly.
We even have other cards where the content has disappeared.
Using the option layout -> style -> sentence , the information is displayed again, although it is not the expected layout.
