MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Make Bar Graphs Wider
I have a PPT slide that I import from excel. The labels for the bars are 7/1, 7/8, 7/15 ETC.(Weekly). The bars are very thin and gaps between the bars very wide. How do I make the bars wider and the gap narrower from within powerpoint. Thanks in advance Double-click to open the graph. It will open in an Excel window. Right-click a data series and choose Format Data Series. Go to the Options tab. Adjust overlap and gap.

Right click the chart and pick Chart Options. On the axis tab set the x axis to Category rather than Automatic. Cheers Andy > Double-click to open the graph.
