thickening a bar in a chart

Is there a way to thicken a bar?

I have plotted daily values and once every 365 days an annual value. As a
result my annual value looks like a very thin bar (barely seeable). Is there
any way to thicken my annual value? I don't want it to fill the chart, just
be a little thicker than a single value every 365 days?

Hi,

chart options which make bars wider apply to all bar (columns). One way to
beat this limit is to repeat the date onwhich the annual total appears a
number of times and enter the value a corresponding number of times. To make
the bars look like one bar you can set the gap width under the series options
to 0 and set the border lines to none on the Patterns tab. If reducing the
gap width to 0 for the other dates presents a problem then insert empty data
items between each entry in the original data source.

Alternatively run a second data series with only the annual data point and
repeat that data point as above.
