This is a very very good tip for adding thresholds to a graph chart. I actually tested it on a line chart (instead of a bar one) and it worked as well. I must add that you actually can turn the line length dynamic and automatic (based on the number of entries), by just right clicking on the line, choose Format Error Bars, select Custom on the Error Amount, and then click on Specify Value. Then, on the Positive Error Value you can select a whole column (for example). This way, you don't need to manually change the length of the line every time a new data entry is made. Nevertheless, this video rocks, so thank you so much for that, man!

Hi If possible kindly advise on the below issue: I want to put grade in Y axis instead of numbers. My grades are excellent, good and satisfactory, where excellent means 3, good means 2 and satisfactory means 1. I want to make a chart to show an employee’s progress of five years, like an employee got good in 1st year and excellent in third year and so on. Will this be possible? It would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

As we are using the Error bar for the Target Line, we need to create the Legend Manually. You can add the definition for the Line using Text Box in the Insert Tab. Use the Insert shape in the same Tab to add a dotted line.

What would you do if you used a dates as the x-axis? I am entering columns for every week and have the weeks categorized as text to reduce the space between the columns. Unfortunately, I believe that is making the target line not start at the left edge of the chart when I enter .5 as the value for the x-axis.

Agreed, I have a chart I'm updating daily - using an error bar as a threshold line is a creative workaround, but isn't going to work for our needs without constantly updating.

Ajay great video but I have a doubt. Why you put 0.5 on X values data series? In my case yy-axis values are percentages. When I put 0.5, the plot goes too much for the right (doesn't center the plot like yours).
