Changing gap depths
 

I made a 3-D bar chart yesterday for the first time. My boss wanted
something a wee bit different than what I gave him (but he was happy with
the results). I had a chart that was 4 columns deep, 14 columns wide. Is
there a way to change the gap depth so that the first two and columns butt
up against each other? I played with the setting after giving him the chart
but I couldn't find anything that gave me that flexibility.

Changing gap depths
 

JoAnn -

Do you want a variable gap width? In general this isn't possible, but you
can fake it by skipping a row or column between all the other data, leaving
a space between existing columns because of the new zero height columns
corresponding to the added blanks. Change the gap width to 0, so the first
two are touching, and the rest will have an effective gap of 100%.
