    Just add the blue series a second time as series 3 (or whatever you want), right click on the new series, select Change Series Chart Type and change it to a line.

    Does not work ,
    changes the whole layout of the chart

    Maybe you should try practically and see
    if it works

    Select blue column series.
    Chart Tools > Layout > Analysis > Lines > Series Lines

    Repear for red column series

    Anyone , Ande Pope almost got me through

    I could have picked his file and used save as ,
    but I have other formula linked to my original
    file , thus do not want to do again

    Ande Pope I think I will use your piece of work
    and copy paste to my file

    Though I will have to do one additional step ,
    do the graph only into your file and return back
    as jpeg to my original file that has other computes

    Note sure if the same exist in office 2010

    You should see the Contextual menu once you select the chart. Same in '07 and '10
