My apologies in advance if this is obvious.
I have a bar chart with three sets of figures and I would like some space
between the three sets. I cannot seem to find anything in the manual or online
which explains how to separate sets of data.
I tried adding a blank (white bar) with 0 data and that did not work. When I
made the data non zero I got overlapping bars. Basically I want the US/EU/Japan
data slightly set apart. This is the default if I use a speadsheet package.
I must be doing something obviously wrong.
Thank you in advance for your help
Christopher
