Hello,

I have a horizontal bar chart that shows the following for multiple schools: Passing Score (70), Max Score (100), Mean Score, Std Dev -1 and +1. To show these 5 criteria as vertical lines on the bar chart, I've had to manually insert a line, using the Shapes icon. I've tried multiple times to use the "Select Data Source" option to formulate where the lines should be, but I haven't had any luck. My x-axis represents the score range, my y-axis represents the schools.

I've added a demo chart of the lines that I would like to represent on the chart for reference (Std Dev not shown). Please let me know of a way to automatically format the vertical lines, vs. manually. Thanks!

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Hi *rscott79 and Welcome to the Board! You need to add "dummy" series to the chart to add the vertical lines. See Jon Peltier's site at the link. HTH. Dave
