Hi,
Does anyone know how to manually add a line to a chart in whatever location
I want without using any sort of dataset? Or is this even possible?
ThanksIt depends.
(1) If you do NOT have any dynamic series groupings in the chart, it is
easy. Just add another item in the "Values" section of the chart properties
dialog / data tab. For the value you can use a constant expression like
=10000 to get a line at y-axis value 10000.
(2) If you have a series grouping (e.g. group by year), then you would have
one "Value" (i.e. static series) for the actual value to be shown and you
would add a second "Value" for the line. Since you would want this line to
only show up once even though there are several series groups at runtime,
you have use an expression to show a constant value only for one particular
grouping value and Nothing for all other grouping values of the series
grouping.
You will find an example at the bottom of this posting based on Northwind
data. The example will need some careful study to see how to make the
constant line appear only once in the chart. Note: the additional legend
entries cannot be removed. The only alternative here is to not draw any
legend on the chart and use an expression to show certain datapoint labels
inside the chart e.g. only on the first datapoint of every series.
