Larger bars The solution for this is to click the Excel chart's X axis, right click and choose Format Axis. Select Axis Options and then click on Text Axis to select it. This changes the way the axis is plotted giving wider bars. You can then adjust the gap width if necessary to make them wider.

Move mouse to one of the corners of the chart or to the midpoints of chart borders until the mouse changes to a double headed white arrow, then you can drag the Chart Area to the size you want.

To do this, leave the chart title box blank (or delete it), then click anywhere on the chart, then click the Layout tab under Chart tools, then click Text Box under Insert, then drag open a text box on the chart and type your chart title into it. This text box can be resized, formatted etc. Was this reply helpful?
