I am trying to create a chart that looks like a thermometer. I used the instructions for a web page online. It shows how to do the charting and copy a picture of a thermometer onto the data point creating the look of a thermometer. My problem is that the image is not transparent when you link it to the data point. IT is on the worksheet itself.
Also. I am using a spinner control. I am trying to make it increment by .5. Is that possible.
Thanks

Andy Post is the one I was using. The step by step instructions. It works well all but the thermometer being transparent.
I am having the same issue. Was this thread ever resolved? I'm trying the same instructions from Andy Pope and having the same non-translucent-thermometer issues.
Any solutions to this?
Thanks!
Kate.

Hi Kate,
Please do not tag onto others posts, it's one of the rules I'm afraid. But can you re-post in the charting forum. Hopefully Andy Pope will answer you, he's a Moderator here - I see he's already on the case!
