Default How do I change the width of data columns in a column chart?

I created a column chart with 7 data series, and the data columns are very
thin, so you can't tell one series from another. I tried using overlap and
gap to increase the width of the columns, but that is not working. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.


It sounds as though you may have inadvertently triggered the
"Time-scale" behavior in the X axis. Go to Chart.. Chart Options.. Axes,
and select "Category" for the X axis instead of "Automatic", and see if
that helps.
