Default How do I have one gridline in chart a different colour

I want to show the minium and maximum temp lines on a chart to show when the
temps have gone over or under - clearly. How can I change ONE gridline to
another colour/style?

Also in the spreadsheet I would like a similar thing. Every time I place a
number in that is over or under certain amounts - I would want that figure to
automatcially show in a colours or flash etc.

Hi,

You can not format individual gridlines. But you can work around the
problem by adding extra data series to plot the lines.
Here is a collection of examples.

As for changing the cells when certain values are entered you need to
look at Conditional Formatting under the Format menu. For an explanation
see,
