Hi!
I was wondering if anyone knows how to add space between the columns in the 'Clustered column chart' when using only calculated measures?
It seems like unless a value is applied to the Axis value all the values gets grouped together with no spacing. In my case the values cannot get categorized using a column in the Axis and counting number of rows as a a row can be of more than one category.
I have seen some creative solutions such as adding a measure with blank and removing the measure name. But it seems like Power BI no longer allows you to have a measure without a name (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Spacing-in-column-chart/m-p/423550#M194799).
Does anyone know how I can add spacing to 'Clustered column charts'? Is there another visual that would solve this?
Best regards

Hi @Anonymous ,
You can refer to the following steps to grouping your measures and use them in the clustered column chart.
Steps:
1. Create a table with all types of measures.
Table= SELECTCOLUMNS({"a","b","c","d","e"},"Category",[Value])
2. Write a measure with switch function to use above table category to return correspond measure value.
Measure =
SWITCH (
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Category] ),
"a", [Measure a],
"b", [Measure b],
"c", [Measure c],
"d", [Measure d],
"e", [Measure e]
)
3. Create a clustered column chart with the above category column as axis and legend, measure as value.

Hi!
Thanks a lot for your answer!
Your solution does solve my issue on my test set. But I am having trouble when applying it to a SSAS connection. When I try to create a Calculated table in SSDT I recieve an error message: "Could not complete the operation because the changes could not be committed to the VertiPaq engine."
Do you know of work around or how I could solve this.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Current I haven't found any methods to create a table on live connection mode. Maybe you can create a table on your database side to stored all category, then you can use its axis and category on your visual.
