Excel Graphs

Hi there

I am producing a simple bar chart graph in excel. This is very simple data with only one column. However i would like to put a series of lines horizontally across the graph to show a high point, low point and average point i.e I will be able to see on the graph how my data column compares to the 'highest point of data, lowest point of data and average data mark' which are mentioned elsewhere in my document.

is this possible?

Please help

Many thanks

Esther

RE: Excel Graphs

Hi Esther

For a quick workaround you might insert a line or lines manually. Go to the insert ribbon then choose Shapes, then select the line type that suits your purpose and draw directly on your chart. If you hold down shift when you draw you will find it easier to draw a horizontal line.

In the meantim I will check with my colleagues to see if is possible to create this directly within the chart.


Kind regards,
Andrew

Excel tip:

Manually rotating a 3D chart

To manually rotate a 3D chart;
Select the chart (edit mode) and click on one corner of the chart display area. A selection border will appear, using the left mouse button on one of the chart's "corners" (mouse pointer changes to a cross) drag the image which becomes a line representation of the chart (as you begin to drag) and rotate the chart to a view of your choice.
If you dont get it right first time, dont worry, the manoeuver is a little bit tricky.
