Default Bars not showing up

I am trying to create a bar chart that shows the square footage of particular
buildings and when they expire. I have my X axis as the expiration years and
the Y axis as the square footage. I cannot get each building to show up on my
chart.

Please help.

Since you're doing bar instead of column, are you sure you don't have the
axis reversed?

A lot of people say bars even if Excel calls it a column chart. You're
right, though, the description isn't clear. It's also the kind of data that
may be better in an XY chart.
