It works great. Only thing if I want to show the data table it will not work. I have tried other options before but there the additional data will also show on the data table. Does this mean that it is not possible? Regards, Guadelupe Hi, I have used this from the website you provided (www.peltiertech.com). It works great.

My problem with using Scatterplots is formatting the x-axis. It won\'t let me format it as dates, so I have to convert to numbers which is fine except that the intervals are all screwy when leap years hit For example, my axis says 1/6/2006, 1/6/2007, 1/5/2008...which just looks bad. Any suggestions? Hi, thanks for posting!

Now that I have my vertical line I would like to shade the area of the chart to the left of the line. Do you have any tips for doing this? Many thanks.

Hope you don't mind answering. 1) as I drag the 'vertical line data' to the chart (plot area), the 'Paste Special' dialog won't show. Instead, the data will hide behind the chart and nothing happens. Is your Excel a version of 2007? 2) can you do the same thing (a vertical line) on a Pivot Chart? Thanks a lot in advance. JohnQ Hi,

I have a couple of questions. Hope you don’t mind answering.

1) as I drag the ‘vertical line data’ to the chart (plot area), the ‘Paste Special’ dialog won’t show. Instead, the data will hide behind the chart and nothing happens. Is your Excel a version of 2007?

2) can you do the same thing (a vertical line) on a Pivot Chart?

Thanks a lot in advance.
