Default How do I plot a v-mask in excel?

Andy,
I already have done all the necessary calculations, and even have my Cusum
chart working perfectly, I also use the UCL and LCL charts, and a few others.
But I was just wondering if anyone knew how to use excel to automatically
draw the v-mask. The calculations are relatively easy, here is a website that
indicates how to manually draw a vmask, but I can't seem to translate it into
excel.

Hi,

Well for the control chart there are explanations here,

As for a particular formula to calculate the v-mask lines we would need
much more detail.

Cheers

Del is correct about the v-mask. Its useful for determining if a process
change is neccesary. And yes, the lines are straight, and actualy come to a
point off the chart. If any results of the cusum show outside the lines, then
something has occured. I just was wondering if anyone knows the formula to
make it work on excel.
