XY scatter chart
Hi,
I'm using an XY scatter chart to plot some numbers on the Y scale and using the X scale to plot time. It works great for my application. Now I would like to drawing a few lines to show my control limits. However these control limit lines are horizontal then taper down diagonally to the zero Y axis point on my time scale after about 6 verticle grid lines to the appropriate time. This is ok if my time scale doesn't move. However, my time scale will slightly self adjust to reflect short or long times. How can I get my control lines to move along with these automatic time scale adjustments that Excel creates? Or, am I asking too much of the program? Or, should I be using some other program to do this? -- FL |
