I want to manually make a histogram. I create a bar chart and set the gap


to zero. The problem I have is with the x-axis data labels. They are
aligned with the bars. For a histogram they should be aligned with the tick
marks (the divisions between bars) since they indicate boundaries. How do I
move the labels??????

As far as I know, it's not possible.

The only workaround I know is to use a combination chart (Column and XY
Scatter) where the axis of the XY Scatter chart is used for labeling the
axis. It's time consuming, and I don't have step-by-step instructions.
