How to make chart columns thicker
Hi
I am using excel 2007. I am trying to create a chart with 20 weeks in the x axis. The chart type is Column, clustered column. The chart displays two lots of data. The problem is, the columns are displayed as very thin, in fact they're little more than lines, yet there is a lot of room on the chart for them to be much thicker. How do I make the columns thicker? The chart just looks daft at the moment. Thanks for any help Colin |

How to make chart columns thicker
