    how to extend horizontal line on column graph

    Hi
    I have the chart below. I am trying to extend the horizontal line so that it spans the whole of the x-axis
    How can this be done? I have attached the excel file.

    Hi Bos1234,

    Welcome to the forums.

    1) You need to move your line to the second axis.
    2) Then you need to show the secondary horizontal axis
    3) Then you need to change the Position Axis option on the secondary horizontal axis to On Tick Marks
    4) Then change the secondary axis Major Tick Mark Type to None and the Axis Labels to None
    5) Then delete the secondary VERTICAL Axis

    If you want to see this in action with a step-by-step and video tutorial here:

    Here is your file with the line stretched across the axis: Extend Line across entire Axis.xlsx

    Please let me know if this helps.
