Thumbs up Answer: changing gap width between specific columns

To change the gap width between specific columns in Excel, follow these steps:
  1. Select the chart that contains the columns you want to adjust.
  2. Right-click on one of the columns you want to adjust and select "Format Data Series" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the "Format Data Series" pane that appears on the right-hand side of the screen, click on the "Series Options" tab.
  4. Under "Series Options", you should see a section called "Gap Width". By default, this is set to
    Formula:
    "150%" 
    . You can adjust this percentage to increase or decrease the gap width between columns.
  5. To adjust the gap width between specific columns, you can use the "Overlap" option. This option allows you to shift the position of each column relative to the others. For example, if you set the overlap to
    Formula:
    "100%" 
    , the columns will overlap each other completely. If you set the overlap to
    Formula:
    "-100%" 
    , the columns will be completely separate from each other.
  6. To adjust the overlap for specific columns, you can use the "Series Overlap" option. This option allows you to adjust the overlap for each individual series in your chart. For example, if you have two data sets for each year, you can adjust the overlap for each set separately to achieve the desired effect.
