I am trying to produce a simple column graph without space or overlap between columns. When I go to 'plot details > spacing tab' the overlap parameter is non-selectable (see attached image), it is possible to adjust the width of the columns by altering the 'Gap Between Bars' parameter but with the options available this always leaves either a gap between the columns or an overlap (as shown).


Does anyone know why this option is non-selectable? Please can someone suggest a solution, this should be a very simple task.

Hi 0-2

This problem occurs if you plot against X axis values that overlap. It can be fixed by plotting for example against the row index. To make this clear I am attaching an image:



The Overlap option will only appear clickable if you plotted from more than one column (and therefore more than one dataset). It looks like you only plotted from one column.

Set your X column Format to Text before plotting and Origin will plot against row but use the X values as Tick Labels.
