Time line in excel graph
I need a vertical line in my graph to show that the graph information after
the line is the future predicted outcomes. I've tried countless different options and cant seem to find how to do this! |
Hi,
There are various ways of addressing this problem.

That's great Andy, Thanks. BUT it's a bit complicated for me to follow! Is
there anywhere where I can find an 'idiots guide'? Many Thanks, Nicole "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, There are various ways of addressing this problem.

Hi,
Ok lets start with what type of chart and data do you currently have? Cheers Andy Wilkesy50 wrote: That's great Andy, Thanks. BUT it's a bit complicated for me to follow!

It is a line chart. Across the bottom are some dates (random months...well I
tried to have random months like in my original chart, but I couldnt get that so it's periods of three months). Up the side are total point numbers. The series line charts the total point numbers, and at a certain point i need a line to signify the present, and then afterwards predicted results.

Hopefully this quick example will help with the datum line and your
other post regarding split series. http://www.andypope.info/ngs/ng38.htm Cheers Andy Wilkesy50 wrote: It is a line chart.
