Inserting a 'Standard'
 
Hello Wizards

I've got my bar or line graph. Is there a clean way to place a 'standard'
or 'goal' line on the graph. i.e. if I want the goal to be 18.7 can I get
that to be a horizontal line that stands out.

TIA !
Sam

Would using the drawing toolbar to manually insert a line, possibly with some
descriptive text, work?

The technique Bernard suggested uses a data series, which is not subject to
moving randomly the way a drawing object will do.
