    Adding a line to a bar graph

    Evening guys,

    (For this to make any sense please look at the attached sheet

    I am trying to recreate the screen grab that I have copied and pasted in (purple bar chart). I am to create the bar chart, but I am unsure how to create the dotted line which is the national average. I would appreciate any help on this.

    Many thanks

    Add another series as xy-scatter.
    Add error bars. format x-error bars to draw line. Delete y-error bars.

    Hi Andy

    When I try to add the error bars, they shift my column bar to the middle.
    How do you format the x-error bars to draw the line - can you explain further?

    Thanks
