At the X value where the curves meet, include a Y value for both series.

Thanks Jon. That trick worked. But one thing, how can I connect the two
lines
together? my actual goes down to week 12 and my forecast starts on week
13.
On the graph there's space between the points 12 and 13. I have tried to
move
the forecst data up one row to start at 12, but that didn't help either.

Thanks.

Make the chart with two series. Put all the dates in column A, put the
actuals in column B down to some date with blanks below, put the forecast
in
column C from that date downward with blanks above. Plot this data,
format
the two series the way you want them to appear (one solid, one dashed).
As
you add an actual value, delete a forecast value. The chart keeps up
automatically.

I have a line chart with weekly data for 2 years. Weeks on the X axis
and
Pounds on the Y axis. They represents actual and forecasted pounds. I
need
to
show the first portion of the line (actual) with solid color while the
rest
of the line (forecast) with dotted line. We are talking about one
single
line
for production. How can I accomplish this? I don't want to do it
manually.
I'd rather have it changes automatically every week when the actual
data
override the forecasted data.

Thanks.
