When a value in a bar graph is equal to 0, no bar apprears.
This is not very beautiful and some programs allow to create a 3D bar where at least a "basement" of the bar is visible. Is there a possibility to do the same with origin? I.e. create a 3D bar in a 2D bargraph...
Or how could I solve this problem?

Hi,
You can create a 3D bar graph by selecting your Y column(s) and then the menu item Plot->3DXYY->3D Bars. For zero Y values you will get a "basement" marking as you mentioned.

Hello,
Thank you for the quick response!
I actually already had tried this. This option creates a 3D graph...
What I would like to have is a simple 2D graph that contains 3D colums (in fact a 2D alignement of 3D colums) with a basement for 0 values.
I know, I am very complicated...
Best regards

Hello Phillipe:
Origin will do this, but the problem is that the thin bar that Origin uses to denote the zero value is obscured by the X (or Y) axis scale. So, you'll have to offset the axis scale a bit to see the "zero bar."
To turn on the display of zero values in the 2D bar graph, choose Tools:Options from the main menu. Choose the Graph tab, then select the Bar Graph Show Zero Values check box.
The other thing you will have to do is to offset your graph axis by a tiny bit so that you can see the "zero bar." If you are using Origin 7.5, click on the X or Y axis to select it, then use the arrow keys to nudge the axis. If you are using an older version of Origin, double-click on the axis that you want to offset, select the Title and Format tab (Axis dialog box) and use the Axis Position drop-down and the Percent/Value text box to offset the axis (e.g. Axis Postion = At Position = and Percent/Value = -0.1).
I think this will do it for you.

Phillipe,
Maybe I misunderstood what you were looking for. I'm not quite clear on what you mean by a "simple 2D graph that contains 3D columns", so here is another possibility:
