Problems with Stacked Bar charts
Seeing a weird thing. When I create a stacked bar or column chart, I get bars
that are one pixel wide so it looks like a vertical line. Closed the sheet, re-opened, new sheet, new data, nothing works. If I embed a worksheet in Powerpoint, and in that sheet, create a new worksheet with the data, it works fine... Baffles me !! Also, excel seems incapable of creating a graph with dates on the X axis, li lists them as ascending numbers, 1.2.3 etc. Again, works fine in an embedded spreadsheet in Powerpoint. As they use the same graph engine, I'm stumped.

Problems with Stacked Bar charts
Hi,
Excel is assuming you want your bars displayed according to the dates. To get back to a category axis select chart and right click. From the popup menu select Chart Options. On the Axes tab set the x axis to Category rather than Automatic or Time series. Cheers Andy Dredd wrote: Seeing a weird thing.
