Default How to add a Vertical Line to a Column or Line Chart with two axes already in use?


Hi All,

I need to add a vertical line to a column / line chart combo where the
secondary axis is already in use.

I have ready through John Peltier's site
(http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ComboCharts.html) and
specifically the two options he has under the 'Special Effects and
Features' section for adding vertical lines to a chart, but both
require the use of a secondary axis which is then hidden. That is not
an option for me as I am already using that secondary axis.

I am currently using a line object drawn over the top of the chart
object and manually positioned on the chart as per this image:

Is there any way to programmatically determine the location that I
would need to put the line object to have it divide between two points
on the x-axis (say, between Nov 2006 and Dec 2006), or to add it to
the chart object itself without losing what is already there?

Thanks,

Alan.
