I am making a simple bar graph, but everytime I try to change the x axis from
numbers to years 1996, 1997, 1998, etc, the bars disappear; what am I doing
wrong?

It sounds like you are changing the axis, but it is still graphing the
original numbers, and they are very small compared to 1996, etc, so the bars
are all not on that scale.

Hi,

Try this, with the series (for the bars) selected on the chart, choose
Chart, Source Data, Series tab, place your cursor in the Category (X) axis
labels box and highlight the range containing the year. If there is more
than one series in the Series window, select and remove any you don't want.
