how to set offset in layout

[Ahti]

I have a GridLayout in which I defined two columns. Left column should be spaces equal to left column length. I tried to create a white color rectangle which would act as an empty area like this:

GridLayout {
        columns: 2
        // Trying to set rectangle as an offset for Label
        Rectangle {
            width: parent.width / 2
            height: parent.height
        }

        Label {
            text: "some text"
        }
    }

That didn't work. So how would I go about creating left column as an offset for right column ?

@Ahti hi

   Rectangle {
               // width: parent.width / 2
                Layout.preferredWidth: parent.width / 2
               // height: parent.height
                Layout.preferredHeight: parent.height
                color: "grey"
            }

@LeLev I was expecting there would be some other option besides creating a rectangle.

@Ahti misunderstood your question,see if this helps

GridLayout {
            anchors.fill: parent
            columns: 2


            Label {

                text: "some text"
                Layout.preferredWidth: parent.width / 2
                Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignRight
            }
        }
