    Add target line to graph

    Hi there,

    I wonder if you could halp me, I have a bar graph that shows how many of something per group
    i.e.
    x-axis - group
    y-asis - number of items

    That's fine, but what I now need to show is a line graph superimposed over the top with a second x axis for date, that shows when all the items will close i.e. each group has 8 or less items, there are 7 groups, so items combined comes to a total of about 50. I need to show a second x axis line that shows dates up to the end of the year, and the line I am trying to produce will go diagonally from 50 at the earliest date down to 6 by 24th December.

    How can I do that?

    Like a Bar-Line Combo chart?

    Well, having two series with different y-axises is pretty straightforward, but two x-axises is... I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding your need first, let me put it that way.

    Can you post a spreadsheet with what you have, and maybe use the drawing tools to just drop lines over the top of like the existing bar chart to show what you mean?

    Re: Add target line to graph

    Hi,

    Apologies to the OP for piggy backing off of his topic but I am looking for a similar solution as well. I am using excel 2013 pivot charts and have added timelines and slicers. I want know if there is a way to have a common target line for a column chart while you slice and dice between the data

    thanks
