Thumbs up Answer: How to make chart columns thicker

Hi Colin,

To make the columns thicker in your chart, you can follow these steps:
  1. Click on any column in your chart to select the data series.
  2. Right-click on the selected column and choose "Format Data Series" from the context menu.
  3. In the "Format Data Series" pane that appears on the right-hand side of the screen, go to the "Series Options" tab.
  4. Under "Series Options", you should see a slider labeled "Gap Width". This controls the spacing between the columns in your chart. By default, it is set to 150%, which can make the columns look very thin. Try reducing this value to make the columns wider. You can experiment with different values until you find the one that looks best for your chart.
  5. You can also adjust the width of the columns manually by entering a value in the "Series Width" field. This value is measured in points, with 1 point equal to 1/72 of an inch. Again, you can experiment with different values until you find the one that looks best for your chart.
