If you are talking about gaps between the bars for each day, double click on
the series you want to format and select the OPTIONS tab. Adjust the GAP
WIDTH as needed.

The x-axis has defaulted to a time-scale. To change the setting:

Select the chart
Choose ChartOptions
Select the Axes tab
For Category (X) axis, choose Category, click OK
