Jon,

You always seem to have the right answer. I looked at Andy Pope's
information and I'm not sure that example with work the way I need it to. I
am going to be updating data month and with this update the line could fall
below, stay above, or rise above the average line. Would his scatter plot
example work in that case or would I need to adjust my thinking? If his
example does work - do you have any idea how I would rework my line chart and
information to display the info appropriately. Currently my data is pulled
via an if/then formula. Thanks for all the helpful info

I have a chart where the average of the coporation as a whole is used as a
benchmark and then from a drop down list you can select an entity you want
to
compare to the benchmark. I am hoping to have the line of the entity
change
colors (i.e. from solid black to solid red) if it exceeds the benchmark
line.
Is this possible?
