    Horizontal Bulelt Graph

    Hi

    I want to make a horizontal bullet graph, with two numbers, example actual £200,000, budget/target £220,000, I want the actual as the bar, and the budget/target as the vertical error bar which is placed over the column,

    I can do this simply enough as a column chart, but trying to do it as a bar chart is proving difficult, as I can not change the budget/target to a line and then change the marker option.

    I don't have a BarOK, BarPoor, etc just those two numbers above I want to chart

    Any ideas?

    You need to use xy-scatter to draw the vertical line on the bar chart.

    Hi Andy

    Thanks for your response, that is very helpful , I managed to get it to how I want it to look kind of, but I am having trouble now positioning the vertical bars, I can move it up and down but I need to be able to make sure it is corresponding to the correct letter, which im stuck on, how is this done?

    If you set the secondary vertical axis to be 0 to number of categories.
    The Y pos is 0.5, 1.5 etc

    Set error bar value to 0.4
