    Adding Text to Y Axis and a Point to a Stacked Chart

    Hi,

    I am trying to display data in a kind of a thermometer format where values are stacked (I Have produced a stacked column). I would also like to have a secondary axis, in text format (High, Medium,Low) for the respective ranges of RED,AMBER,GREEN.

    I would then also like to add a Point series on the stacked column, highlighting where the current DATA is.

    Any help on this will be much appreciated.

    I would use a technique like this http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Y_CategoryAxis.html where you add a "dummy series" so that it looks like an axis and label those points with the desired text categories.

    I would then also like to add a Point series on the stacked column, highlighting where the current DATA is.
    Add that point as a 4th data series, then change the chart type of the 4th series so that it is a line chart -- creating a stacked column + line combination chart.
