    Bar chart with whisker

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a bar chart that shows the following:
    - % of population living in a given area (Column A)
    - % of population living outside a given area (Column B)
    - total population of given area in number format (Column C)
    I can figure out how to graph Columns A and B in a bar chart, but want to add Column C as a whisker. Any suggestions on how to do this?
    Thanks.

    My area of learning has not yet reached a 'Whisker' - but to represent a data series as a different chart type, rightmouse the Data Series, and select Chart Type

    Select your required type for that series.

    Thanks for your response. I'm referring to the whisker you might see on a box plot chart, but without the box, and with a specific "end point". I'm not sure if it's possible in excel - from what I've seen, box plots themselves are challenging to make, much less an altered form of one.
    Again - thanks for the tip.
