In my y-axis there are values above and below the origin. Is there a way i can make the origin line thicker so that it stands out from the other lines on the y-axis? I hope i've managed to explain. Thanks in advance.

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Sure, just right click on the X axis, and hit the Format Axis option, then on the Patterns tab, in the Lines section, change the weight.
You can also change the colour - for example, make it black, or red, and make all the other grid lines grey.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, that's not exactly what i'm trying to do. Let me explain on pics;


This is what i could come up with:

This is what i'm trying to do (I did this on MS Paint!) :)

What can you recommend? I could modify bitmaps of my graphs on Paint like this, but i'd rather have excel do it right at the first place.

Thanks again, and happy new year..

You should be able to add a dummy series

plot it as a line and adjust the weight of the line.
