Excel Bar Chart

I have a bar chart showing Jul - Nov on the x axis with a series of bars that represent values a, b, c in each of the 5 month period (Jul - Nov).
In November, a new value 'd' needs to be added the chart but when I attempt it, excel put's the d value in Jul and not in Nov.

I know that a workaround would involve 0.0 values for each month up to November, but is there another way? Note: No values existed for d before November.

RE: Excel Bar Chart

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the forum question.

I do not know how you have organised the source data for the chart, but it shouldn't be a problem to add a value "d" to November.

I have attached a workbook with a couple of examples. If you click on the outside boarder of the charts Excel will put blue boarders around the values in the source table. Drag the handle in the bottom right corner to include the "d" value column or row.

PLease let me know if this answer do not help you.









Kind regards

Thank you for replying so swiftly.

This work perfectly. It's a bit obvious when you look at it but I couldn't for the life of me work it out at the time.

Kind regards,

Andrew
