    Question Column chart with gap only at the start

    How can I make a column chart with no gaps between the columns, but with a small gap at the start before the first column?

    Something like this.

    Hi,

    Welcome to the forum.

    You can do this by adding a nil field at the beginning and at the end.

    See the attached file.

    Thanks. Is it then possible to reduce the width of that initial gap? It should only be 50% of the column width.

    with example from post#2
    • Format x-axis
    • Vertical axis crosses
    • At category number: 2
      or
    • At category number: 1
    • Axis position
    • On tick mark
