Making Static Lines in Chart

Hi All,

I am generating a chart (Stacked Bar) where number of series is fixed
(6) but number of data points vary and as a result the scale of the Y
axis keeps on changing every time it is refreshed.

I also have three lines on top of the chart which I need to show to
define boundaries within which the data points should lie. One at the
origin (coinciding with X Axis), other at 50% and the last one at
-50%.

My Y axis will never go beyond 100% and -100% but because the X aixs
labels keep on expanding as I select more data to plot, the graph
moves up and down and the lines changes their position.

Is there anyway, I can keep the line static?

Please help

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Rather than draw the lines over the chart make them part of the chart by
plotting them as extra series.
Have a look at this page for some examples and links to other sites.
