Columns in a bar chart look like thin vertical lines

HI all,
My bar chart does not look as a chart at all.
X axis in a Material part number
Y axis is a Total value of each material.
What is the problem and what should I do?

It seems your Meterial Part number has data type as number. Change it to text. This should solve the issue, however if you have huge list of part numbers. It is better to use a Table visual instead of the column/bar chart.
