Difficulty turning off bar chart gridlines

Hello,

My bar chart contains some (very faint) dotted vertical lines.  I would like to turn those off, but under the gridlines setting, the setting is greyed out and set to off.  I can't seem to find any other option to get rid of these lines.  Thanks so much for any assistance!

did you turn off you x-axis value ..

if that so, then this is the reason why vertical gridlines is turned off

 

now if the gridline is not disappearing, 

what you can do, enable the x-axis values, then change the color of the grids to white ( = background color) , 

then trun off the x-axiss again ( in caes you dont want to show the x-axis ) 

 

 

 

 

 

let me know if it works for you . 

 

 

 

If my answer helped sort things out for you, i would appreciate a thumbs up 👍 and mark it as the solution

Thanks so much!  Yes, I did have the x-axis values turned off.  I turned them on, which 'ungreyed' the gridlines controls, then turned off vertical gridlines, then turned the x-values back off.  This did the trick.  Thank you!
