Re: Decreasing white space around graphs in Excel?

[Dave R.]

Try selecting (clicking) the outside of the pie chart itself (plot area it
may be called), and not the square border that surrounds it. that will allow
you to expand the size of the pie without expanding the border box around
it.

Actually, to select the plot area of a pie chart, you have to click in
the corners between the circle and the square it fits within. With this
square highlighted, drag the corners outward to increase its size.

Kind of a puzzler, but when I hover the cursor over one of the corners of the
box, it changes to a two headed arrow, but clicking and dragging does
nothing. Can't enlarge the overall size oif the pie. Could this be locked,
somehow?

Hi,

If the sheet has been protected then you could see this effect.
Have a look under menus Tools > Protection
