Hi,

I have an economic time series that I've graphed using a line chart.
Our professor wants us to add recessions to this chart. Is there a way
adding a bar chart to a line chart?

I just drew vertical lines between the dates in question and added
diagonals but the graph looks amateurish. Ideally, I'd like to be able
to add a shaded column between the dates but still have the line show
through the shaded area.

Thanks.

Bob

Hi,

Have a look at Jon Peltier's example of vertical banding,
