QuestionHow do I adjust the bar graph width in Excel?Community AnswerClick on the element you want to adjust. For example, if you want to adjust the width of the bars, you would click on the bars. If that doesn't bring up options, try right clicking. Decreasing the gap width will make the bars appear to widen. If you have more than one set of data (i.e. the cost of two or more items over a given time span), you can also adjust the series overlap. If you're not satisfied with the automatic layout of the axes, you can adjust these at your own peril.

The graph will be blank (all white), so just put in fake data to make sure it works. Then, clear the table and copy the document. Make a new copy of the spreadsheet every time you need to use the template.
