    Bar chart with wrong area

    Dear all,

    I created a bar chart, with the following serie 0%, 0%, 6%, 94%. The bar representing 6 % has the largest area/length and I cannot seem to fix this. Has anyone encountered this problem before and know what to do?

    Please upload the workbook so that we can see the request in context.

    The workbook was too large for me to upload, so this is a capture. If you need to see the workbook, I can try and delete some of the data

    You need to post a workbook rather than an image.
    Recreate the chart in a workbook with just the data needed for the chart.

    I going to hazard a guess that your image is actually 3 seperate charts and the scale for the middle one is not starting from zero.

    This is the data and bar chart copied into a new workbook. The colors are different but the middle chart is still not right.

    @ Andy, of you are so right! My colleague deleted the axis, so I didn't notice! Fixed the problem, thank you so much!
