Numskull -

If you want vertical bars of a Column chart to touch, set the Gap Width to
zero.

Or, try my free Better Histogram add-in from www.treeplan.com.

Excel produces a wide range of really useful graphs, with the exception of
histograms (and box-and-whiskers are also difficult to do), even in the
2003
version that I use.

The Analysis ToolPak produces an apology for a histogram with bars not
touching and frequency density not used on the y - axis ("schoolboy
error").

I am sure microsoft could easily rectify this if they wanted - there are
other programs (e.g. Autograph) that do it quite successfully.
