I'm using a stacked column format.  I want to show data for about 3 weeks (1
week in each column).  Everything looks fine, except the column seems very
narrow.  How do I change the width of the column on the chart?  Thanks

Hi,

Double click column and adjust the GapWidth property on the series
option tab.

Also check the categroy axis is not being plotted as true dates as this
will leave big gaps between non consectutive dates.
Right click chart and choose Chart Options. On Axis tab set x axis to
Category.

Cheers
Andy
