Excel - Stock Chart questions
How do I create a stock chart where the 'closing price' is OUTSIDE of the
High-low range? Basically, I'm plotting sales forecasts accuracy - so I'm comparing the final result with their high-low range. I like the stock chart format, but can't figure-out how to plot the closing price (whisker?) outside of the range |

At least two ways exist:
1. Change the Close series to an XY type, then format the XY series to use the primary axis. 2. Format the Close series to plot on the secondary axis, then use Chart Options Axes (or the corresponding commands on the middle Chart Tools contextual tab in the ribbon) to remove the secondary axes. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "Greg" wrote in message ...

For #1 - can you please explain how I change the Close series to an XY type? Thanks for your help -- Greg "Jon Peltier" wrote: At least two ways exist: 1.

Greg -
Right click on the series, choose (Change) Chart Type, and select an XY style from the dialog. By selecting a series first, you limit the change to the selected series. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ Advanced Excel Conference - June 17-18 2009 - Charting and Programming http://peltiertech.com/Training/2009...00906ACNJ.html _______ "Greg" wrote in message ...
