Default Scatter Column chart ?

I posted this link:

http://peltiertech.com/Excel/ChartsH...thColumns.html

which linked to several web pages. This web page was one of them:

http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=508

This has examples which show what it is you're asking. It's not a native Excel
capability, you'll have to work at it a little. But it's not overwhelmingly complex.

In the examples you have given, only the width of the column are taking
into account.

In my particular case, I want the data corresponding to the "6-8"
interval to be placed at the VALUES 6-8 along the x-axis (so that if
the scale was ranging from 0 to 16, it would be more or less in the
center of the graph)





"I want the X-axis to be based on the value (like in a XY scatter)"

Apparently we're not sure what this means.

Here is one example of variable width columns.

I have data organized like this:

Range Value
6-8 5
8-12 1
12-13 2
13-17 6
17-18 7
18-20 9


And I want to do a column chart with a spacing
based on the x-values (like a XY scatter graph). Note that the
intervals are not constant.

is there any ways to do that ?
