    Graph Bars not Displaying

    Hi
    I've got a chart with four sets of data linked to a bar chart. For some reason only one set of data is displaying a bar. I've been struggling with this all weekend and cannot get it to work!

    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Long shot here, but could it be because the other three bars are tied to columns L, N and O and there's no data in those?
    When I enter figures in those ranges the chart shows the bars as expected.

    Thanks Beth

    That certainly helps solve part of it.

    The column I’m struggling to get to display is the black bar (forecast cashflow) which is the first column of data.

    Any ideas?

    Do you mean column F? If so, I can't see a series defined for that.

    EDIT: The black bars are showing here.

    If column F you need to add it. If column G then that's already showing as the line graph element.

    Thanks for all your help.

    I've spent so much time messing with this trying to get it to work I had moved a lot of data selections around.

    The graph is now displaying all of the data series I need but I'm trying to get column F to display as a bar (currently a green trend line).

    I've attached a new copy of the sheet.

    If you right click on the green line then select "Change series chart type" you can select a clustered column then switch it to the primary axis and you should be done.

    See attached.
