Add a Horizontal Line to a Column Chart in XL 2007
Sure it does. The various commands are no longer found on the familiar
toolbars and dialogs, but in general the protocol works fine. Create a column chart. Copy the XY data, Select the chart, Paste Special as New Series. Convert added series to XY type. Remove secondary Y axis, format secondary X axis. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Fabio Coatis" wrote in message oups.com...

Add a Horizontal Line to a Column Chart in XL 2007
Hi Jon,
I just was following your directions using the column chart, but when I was pasting special the sencondary axis data ( 0 and 1) the series did not appear in the chart so that I couldnīt select it to change the data type for xy scatter. Maybe I have an old version of XL 2007. On 20 set, 16:37, "Jon Peltier" wrote: Sure it does.

Add a Horizontal Line to a Column Chart in XL 2007
Did it not appear at all, or was in not visible for some reason? Are the Y
values similar in magnitude to those of the columns already plotted? In the dropdown that lets you see what chart element is selected, and select other elements, can you see and select the new series? (I don't have 2007 right in front of me, but I think the dropdown is on the second and third of the Chart Tools tabs.) - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Fabio Coatis" wrote in message ups.com...

In your example they were in descending order, when I changed to ascending the series appeared. Can you confirm if this problem is happening in your version of excel? Thank you for your help.

Add a Horizontal Line to a Column Chart in XL 2007
I don't know why that should make a difference, but it does, bug report to
follow. When you paste the new data onto the chart, Excel does add another series. There is room for it in the cluster of columns already present. The series is not visible, for whatever reason. You can still access the series, not using the up/down arrows as I always advise, because that didn't seem to select the series, but by selecting the series in the Chart Element dropdown, the top left control on the Chart Tools Layout and Chart Tools Format tabs. Once it is selected, you can change it to an XY type, and the rest of the protocol is unchanged. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Fabio Coatis" wrote in message oups.com...
