Trying to create a stacked column chart with the legend situated between the first column and the left vertical axis on the left, aligned tot he top.

What I need to do is adjust the chart so as the first column starts further to the right than otherwise. I can adjust the width of the columns but this is not an ideal solution as the columns become too thin.

Is there a way to adjust the positioning of the first series of a chart?
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Sorted. I created a "dummy" column, made the series have "no fill" and removed tick marks. Question closed
