Bars

I've been working on this project for some time now, &
have resorted to a pie chart instead of the bars that is
preferred. When I select the chart type, for ex. for 3D
all I get is narrow lines. I have even downloaded the MS
excel patch thinking there might be a glitch in the
software but still unsuccessful. Any help I can get will
be appreciated. Thank you

What do you have on the x-axis of the bar (column?) chart? Are they
dates? If so, what is their range?

I bet she has dates, and Excel is imposing a time scale axis. Right
click on the chart, choose Chart Options from the pop up, click on the
Axes tab, and under Category, choose Category instead of Automatic or
Time Scale.
