Widen Chart Columns
I'm using a stacked column format. I want to show data for about 3 weeks (1
week in each column). Everything looks fine, except the column seems very narrow. How do I change the width of the column on the chart? Thanks |

Widen Chart Columns
Hi,
Double click column and adjust the GapWidth property on the series option tab. Also check the categroy axis is not being plotted as true dates as this will leave big gaps between non consectutive dates. Right click chart and choose Chart Options. On Axis tab set x axis to Category. Cheers Andy RichN wrote: I'm using a stacked column format. I want to show data for about 3 weeks (1 week in each column).

Widen Chart Columns
In Excel 2007, you need to change the information in the column to text
instead of a date. This will widen the bars on the graph. I could not find a place to make it a "category" in 2007 (which is what I did with the previous version).

In xl2007 you need to select the axis.
CTRL+1 to display the format dialog. Axis Options Category as Text. Cheers Andy MMartinPhD wrote: In Excel 2007, you need to change the information in the column to text instead of a date.
