Identifying data points in chart

[pholt33]

Hi,
I am having trouble making a chart do what I want it to do. I have an XY scatter of dollar values, with one range for negative values so I can format the line red and another range for positive values that I can format as green. So far, so good. I have added a 3rd range of values (blue markers in pic) to identify the profit level for each 1,000 increment in revenue and the breakeven) and then I added error bars.

What I have....

Here, I started manually drawing in lines to show what I am trying to accomplish.

How can I make this happen?

Thanks!

then do the same for those as with neg/pos... put a value of NA() in the cells that are not in the number intervals you want.

for the dots, you can add markers and change their size in any of the series options. I don't think you need to create a new series just for that..

but I was also looking into "drop" and "High Low" Lines but those don't seem to work as I think you want.

Right, getting the markers isn't a challenge, it's the drop lines that I can't figure out.

ok.
for drop lines...
it took me while. But drop lines go everywhere, as far as i can tell.
So, what you need are high-low lines. And to do that you need to create a baseline at the bottom axis.
So, create another line with all the same values as your bottom axis (I used -2000) at the 1000 increment points, and #N/A in the others.
Make it invisible.
Then go to format chart LINES >>> HIGH-LOW.
