superimposing onto a boxplot

**lynnelliot** · 06-09-2013, 07:04 AM

I created a box plot for my data from a marked line chart (it includes, min, max, 25, 50, 75 percentiles and has a box showing the IQR (25-75 %tile). I also would like to show the mean on this graph, but when I add that data, the box no longer includes the correct data. Is there a way to add this and/ or superimpose a second chart with only means on top of this one?

Yes. In the past, I have set the axis-values constant, then copied and pasted the other chart (to get the axes the same size), then selected the mean data & formatted this new chart as no background color, no border, no axis color, etc., so it just floats above your other chart.
