Skinny Charts

[Kathleen_0422]

I am trying to create a bar chart and it is appearing almost as if it is a line. I have done this in the past, I can't figure out how to adjust the width of each series.

Sure would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Maybe:

Format Data Series > Series Options > Gap Width

0% should equal wide bar; 500% should equal skinny bar.

Hey Matty, thanks for the reply but it is set to 0 no matter what I do it is a straight line up and down.

It sounds as though you have too many X axis values. Is the X axis using dates perhaps?

 

[Kathleen_0422]

Yes 12 points one for each month.

You need to change the axis type to a category axis rather than a date one, or it will try and plot all the days of the year.

Thank you, very much.
