    Stumped on how to create a horizontal line comparison chart

    How would I get excel to create a horizontal line comparison type chart? Similiar to a ruler where there
    is inches along top and metric along bottom. Or another example is like a thermometer with Fahrenheit on one side and Celsius along the other.

    It would look similiar to timeline.
    Hope you can follow my analogy?
    Attached is an example of what I would like to accomplish.
    Thanks for any help

    You can use a xy-scatter and error bars.

    Pick 1 of the measuring systems to provide the x values.
    You will need to calculate the corresponding coverted x value for the other system. In the attached I used the CONVERT function from the analysis toolpak to go from °F to °C

    The data labels for each series is then linked to the values you want displayed.
    You can use a free addin to link cells to data labels.
