Is there a way to make the columns in a column graph wider? I have 6 categories so all the columns are clumped together and really skinny. It would be much easier to see if all the columns were wider. Thanks.

Hi,

Double-click inside the graph, or right-click and select Plot Details. Then go to the Spacing tab. There are two controls - Gap between bars, and Overlap, that you can change. For example, you can set Gap to 0, but you may also have to change overlap to a positive number in order to get the columns wider because you have many categories. Also, you could consider other column plot types such as Stacked Column and that might work better with many categories.
