    Creating a simple bar chart with non-consecutive number range for horizontal axis points

    Dear Forum Members,

    I'm trying to creat a simple bar chart of vertical bars showing number of visitors over a series on non consecutive months.

    This is proving to be very difficult for me to do this in Excel 2007.

    Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 12 15 18 21

    No. Visitors 0 0 7 28 11 6 13 11 10 20 14 4 0
    I guess I need to find a way of customising the horizontal axis points to add the non-consecutive month values or perhaps this is the wrong approach ?

    Any suggestins please ?

    Thanks

    Given your data the only issue I could foresee would be the plotting of Months as a series that than the category labels.
    If you delete the Months text then Excel can attempt to guess first row is category labels, even though they are numbers.
