Go to Chart menu Chart Type, and the selected chart type and subtype will
be highlighted. Change to the same subtype, except without the 3D effects.

Thank You, Sir! It worked. Btw, I know this must sound extremely dumb, but
how do I go about changing it to 2-D?

Regards,
Fenil.

Increase the Y axis maximum so that the columns do not reach so high.

If you're adding textboxes, make sure you select the chart before adding
the
textboxes, so they are embedded in the chart, rather than in the
worksheet.
Also you will be well served to change to a 2D chart, otherwise it will
soon
become very cluttered.
