Default actual and projected sales on a line graph

In article ,
says...
I would like to show actual and projected sales on one line on a line graph.
Solid line for actual sales and a dotted line for projected sales based on
the same time line. This must be really simple, but I just don't get it.

The easiest way to do this is to create two series and format the projected
series as desired. Suppose you have the following:

2005 10
2006 12
2007 15
2008 16

Reorganize the data:
2005 10
2006 12 12
2007 15
2008 16

Now, plot the 2 columns as 2 series and format the 2nd with dotted lines.
