Time line in excel graph

I need a vertical line in my graph to show that the graph information after
the line is the future predicted outcomes. I've tried countless different
options and cant seem to find how to do this!

Hi,

There are various ways of addressing this problem.
See the following for examples of adding lines to charts.

That's great Andy, Thanks. BUT it's a bit complicated for me to follow! Is
there anywhere where I can find an 'idiots guide'?

Many Thanks,

Nicole

It is a line chart. Across the bottom are some dates (random months...well I
tried to have random months like in my original chart, but I couldnt get that
so it's periods of three months). Up the side are total point numbers. The
series line charts the total point numbers, and at a certain point i need a
line to signify the present, and then afterwards predicted results.

Hopefully this quick example will help with the datum line and your
other post regarding split series.
