    Add label on a chart

    I have a line graph to show the no. of customer in each day.
    In the graph, some peak is shown(i.e. the day with many customer).
    At each peak, I want to add a label and a line/arrow to show some information. How can I draw the line?

    Re: Add label on a chart

    Start by displaying the drawing toolbar (View | Toolbars, check Drawing)
    You need to make sure the line is part of the chart, not just a line on top
    of the chart (which will not move when the charts is moved) - we call this
    grouping
    To do this click the chart BEFORE you click the line tool on the Drawing
    toolbar
    best wishes

    Hi,

    Consider using extra data series to highlight special points in your data.
    Jon Peltier has an explanation here.

    I also have an example here,
