Hi all,

I recently made the stupid error of losing a memory stick that I hadn't backed up.
I last backed it up 8 years ago and was able to retrieve the data up to that point.
I've been filling in things and replacing them as I go and some things I keep data on have changed over time.

I had a stacked bar chart depicting our members Par 3 scores at each course we play (there's a prize for the player that scores the most points at the end of the year)
The chart I previously did had a dark plot area etc and the bars were in glossy colours, with shadow and bevelled edges.

I've recreated the chart for this year and although I still get the dark background, the colours on the bars are matt and don't look as appealing as the original.
I've tried changing parameters within formatting and design and can't get it to look as it did.
Has anyone any idea how to change it to look like I had it before?
I've attached two pictures to show comparison.

Thanks in advance.

There are lots of options in the format series pane for making your charts look 'shiny', especially in the 3-D format section:
