Need to make a plain barchart, not a histogram
 

I need to create a barchart rather than a histogram and I cannot figure out
how to do this in Excel. The only option listed in the chart wizard for bar
chart displays the bars horizontally, and I do not want that. I want my data
to appear like a histogram but with spaces in between the vertical columns.
Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Use the Column chart type (vertical bars).

Right above the icon for horizontal bars is the one for vertical columns.
