Default Widening Cluster Chart Columns

Hello,
I have a Cluster Column chart with 3 series. This is data gathered
weekly and I have 8 weeks of data, one data point for each series per
week.
The problem I am having is that the columns in the chart are very thin
and do not give a good visual representation of the data. I cannot
figure out how to widen the columns.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can double click one series, and on the Options tab reduce the gap
width.

If this doesn't seem to help, because all columns for a given week are
compressed into the space for a single day, you need to change the axis
from time scale to category. On the Chart menu, choose Chart Options,
and click on the Axes tab. Under Category axis, choose Category.

Thanks, Jon!
Changing to Category worked great. The gap width helped a little, but I
had to increase it after changing to Category.
