Bar Charts
When I make a 3D bar chart I cannot get the bars to reach to the horizontal
line that refle cts the value. For example I have a value of 100,000 and the bar has a value horizontal line of 100,000 but the bar on the chart stops short of 100,000 line. I know there is a way to adjust it but cannot remember how it is done. Please help. |

Use a 2D chart. You won't get the funky effects that a marketing guy likes
to show off his slides and obscure his data. Instead you'll get a clear and simple chart that avoids the distortion caused by false perspectives and avoids the clutter required to display a data point as a false 3D block rather than as a simple flat rectangle. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Rawle" wrote in message ...

Thanks but I think I recall making the adjustment in a 3D chart so that the
bar reads correctly off the horizontal line. It mayhave been in Excel 2003. "Rawle" wrote: When I make a 3D bar chart I cannot get the bars to reach to the horizontal line that refle cts the value.

Hi,
The setting is probably Gap depth of the series. But I also would *strongly* recommend using 2d charts.
