Default Plotting A Target

I have dynamic column charts that basically chart performance in a particular
area.

I have the graphs looking and operating fine, but I need to display a second
series of columns showing the possible score. There is only one cell on the
datasheet that contains this information. Is this possible and how do I do
it? I don't want the people who update the sheet to have to type the possible
scores each time!

Currently, x axis is individual person, y axis is score.

Default Plotting A Target

Hi,

To create another series of columns you will need repeated values. Can
you not link this cells back to the one cell that changes.
For example A1 contains the single value. The second series of columns
is on the range D2:D4. So use the formula
D2: =$A$1
D3: =$A$1
D4: =$A$1

Cheers
Andy

One way would be
Adding a horizontal line to a chart
http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/ch...traight_lines/

In that example, I plot the average of the data set. You would replace the
reference to the average with the cell that contains the possible score.
