Hello!

I have a chart that shows daily sales on an X axis that spans $0 to $200,000. I'd like the chart to show a line that runs parallel to the Y axis at $75,000, break-even sales volume.

Is there a way to place a fixed/reference/benchmark line on a chart? My objective is to call attention to the fact that any daily sales below a certain value need to be investigated.

Thanks!

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Do you mean perpindicular to the Y Axis? Parallel to the Y Axis would cross all the values ?

If you want perpindicular to Y (or parallel to X), just create another series with a value of $75,000 at every date. You can label the series "Threshold".

You rock, awoohaw! That solution will work!

And, yes, I mean perpendicular to the Y axis, parallel to the X axis.

Thanks!
