Width of columns in EXcel

[Lynne]

A client of mine has asked if it is possible in Excel
(2002) to make a bar chart, where the width of each bar is
proportionate to the value of it's point data.

I have tried without success

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Lynne

You should also note that doing this would be a classic form of "How to
Lie with Statistics"

This isn't a straightforward procedure, but Stephen Bullen shows how to
do this in the FunChart5.xls example on his web site (http://bmsltd.co.uk).

It's not lying if it gets you what you want.
