Dear all,

I have created a vertical bar chart to show monthly expenditure for the
first four months of the year.

Jan: £2.8m
Feb: £2.65m
Mar: £3.2m
Apr: £2.95m
etc...

There is a constant monthly budget throughout the year and I wish to
illustrate this by adding a datum in the graph. The cost ceiling in the
above example would be £3m. How would I go about portraying this line on the
graph?


Thanks in advance,

Neil

Using the drawing tool bar, just add a line.
