Add label on a chart
 

I have a line graph to show the no. of customer in each day.
In the graph, some peak is shown(i.e. the day with many customer).
At each peak, I want to add a label and a line/arrow to show some
information. How can I draw the line?

Add label on a chart
 

Start by displaying the drawing toolbar (View | Toolbars, check Drawing)
You need to make sure the line is part of the chart, not just a line on top
of the chart (which will not move when the charts is moved) - we call this
grouping
To do this click the chart BEFORE you click the line tool on the Drawing
toolbar
best wishes

Hi,

Consider using extra data series to highlight special points in your data.
Jon Peltier has an explanation here.

I also have an example here,
