    How to remove right border/outline on an area chart?

    Hi Everyone,

    I have an area chart and I like having the outline on the top of the chart, but not on the right side of the area chart? Looks like the return is dropping off to zero. Is there a way to turn off the outline on the right side of the chart, but keep it on the top of the data series. See image.

    Well, it's easier to help you if you post an Excel file instead of a screenshot.

    I am trying to post the Excel spreadsheet using the Paperclip icon in the reply, but I can't select or browse for any file. Is anyone else having issues trying to post attachments?

    Everyone seems to have issues using the paperclip icon to attach files. The only reliable method on this forum for attaching files is to:
    1) Click go advanced or post reply to get into the full featured post edit window/page
    2) On that page, below the post editor is a "manage attachments" link. click on this link to bring up the site's file uploader.
    3) Follow instructions on the file uploader to browse and select the desired file to upload.

    To paraphrase Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove "Why do we even have that [paperclip icon]!?" I don't know, but the "manage attachments" link seems to work quite reliably.

    Well. I don't think this is the solution that you are looking for, but insert a line "shape", and lay on top to the boarder > group together with the chart > change shape line color to white.

    Great solution JieJenn, that works for what I need. I didn't think about just cheating a line in there. Thanks for the help!
