    Vertical Dotted Line on Graph

    Hi

    I have my graph set up and ready using a combo Bar & Line chart.

    I need to have a vertical dotted line to highlight a specific period on the time line.
    My chart shows number of orders on a month by month basis (Bar) and number of completed on a month by month basis (line).

    I need my vertical dotted line at 11/15 (mm/yy).

    Im using Excel 2010.

    As always, many thanks

    Re: Vertical Dotted Line on Graph

    Hi -

    There are a couple ways you can do this. I have attached an example where I simply add a second data set that has two values on 11/1/16: 0 and 100. The first series has data from January to December. Insert the graph, grab the vertical line and edit the style to a dashed linetype.

    The other way you could do it is simply go to the INSERT tab, Select Shapes, and physically draw a line on the graph where you want it. Edit the linetype, coler, thickeness, etc. to what you want.

    Hope this helps.
