How do I read values from a line chart?

[Lynn]

I want to draw lines from the y axis over to the data line and down to the x
axis. I also need to show the value on the x axis. Please can someone help?

Hi,

Create an XY-Scatter Plot, rather than a line plot.
Right click on any data point ---> "Format Data Series" ---> "X-Error Bars"
tab ---> select the "Minus" box, check "Percentage" radio button and enter
100 for % ---> repeat this in the "Y-Error Bars" tab ---> then go to "Data
Labels" tab and check "X Value"
With a Line Plot, you can get the Data Labels, and only the Y-Error Bars.
In both plots, you can drag the data labels and place them wherever you want.
