Suppose I have a set of data of price trend that is plotted on a line graph, labeled by date.

I want to be able to input a specific date in that range, and the graph should highlight the data point on that date? Specially, I want to be able to draw a line down (This is bonus, as long as I can somehow highlight that point in anyway).

Another application is, if I have a range of stock prices on a specific day, I want to be able to find the data point of a specific stock on the graph.

Please let me know if this is clear enough.

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
My solution is to create a data series and set the format to column. The value of that data point could be set to the max of all values and using a formula, only show the column on the input date.
