Transparency of area chart series is not possible in Windows Excel
versions 2003 or earlier.

Why not keep it simple and use a line chart?

I have an area chart, which I need to show "non-stacked" so want to be
able to set one of the areas to be partially transparent. I can see
the option on the Fill Effects, but it is greyed out. Any suggestions
how this is achieved please
