mixed plot: scatter, vertical, and horizontal lines

What would be the best way to create/construct a scatterplot diagram that
also had some (data-based, not drawn-in) horizontal _and_ some vertical
lines in it?

Thanks!
Keith

RE: mixed plot: scatter, vertical, and horizontal lines

use an xy scatter, for the vertical lines you can copy them, then click onthe
chart and use edit/paste special; select new series, and categories are in
the first column, then when this is pasted in, format it to have no markers
but does have a line. Same with Horizontal line (another new series.)

As an alternative, you could use error bars for the horizontal and
vertical lines:

Re: mixed plot: scatter, vertical, and horizontal lines from OP

Thanks to all for your replies. I had some trouble with pasting new series
(edit/paste special disabled for scatterplots in XL2003/ Win2000 when
pasting series data?) but the use of error bars worked great- I started with
a multi-series line graph and then changes one to the scatterplot source
data and type, and used both secondary axes. Thanks to all for your help and
suggestions!
