Hi,
Rather than drawing the line using shapes, which will be static, add an extra data series. Here are a few pages on the subject. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/AddLine.html http://tushar-mehta.com/excel/charts...nes/index.html http://www.andypope.info/charts/averageline.htm http://www.processtrends.com/pg_char...ontal_line.htm Cheers Andy Kavitha wrote: i am creating a bar graph with death rates for 8 cities in los angeles for a particular disease.

Thanks that was very helpful. I got stuck on a minute detail: Label Last
Point. Currently the value of my horiz line is labeled at the 0 x-axis point and it is also labeled at the 1-axis point on my secondary axis. I was reading through the link titled "Label Last Point" but it is talking about creating a module. I'm not exactly sure how to do that. Any ideas?

You need to go to the VBE (visual basic editor) within excel ALT+F11
In the project window you should see your current workbook. Select it and then via the menus Insert Module. This will add a code module to your project. You can then copy/paste the code. Here is a non vba solution http://www.andypope.info/charts/Labellast.htm Cheers Andy Kavitha wrote: Thanks that was very helpful. I got stuck on a minute detail: Label Last Point.
