    Angry Adding reference lines to a chart with primary and secondary axis

    Good day all! New to the forum! I have a chart with sales data on one axis and inventory on a secondary axis. I have the average of each columns of data and want to add a reference line to each axis with it's average. I have added the averages to my data set, but it only adds the reference line to my primary axis. I actually began by manually inserting two lines to the chart (which seems asinine). They actually didn't print because they weren't actually on the chart, but rather just on the spreadsheet behind. So neither solution is working for me right now. Please help, thanks!

    Once you move a series to the secondary axis any new series added to the chart will also be on the secondary axis, which is the case for the "Avg Wrt Sls" series.
    If you select that series via the drop down box on Format ribbon you can change it to the Primary axis and it will appear.
