Balance Points in Excel Charts
Hi.
I regularly produce stacked bar charts to show ranges of opinions (e.g. very poor, poor, acceptable, good and very good quality). In these charts I often manually add a drawing shape to show a 'balance point' (like a see-saw) - to show how opinions differ between different groups of people. I would like to know if there is a way to add a drawing object (or shape etc) to a graph - but linked to data (i.e. so that it is linked to the middle point of the data). This would make my graphs more dynamic and would save me a lot of time adding these shapes in manually. Many thanks in advance for your anticipated help. Kind Regards. Liz. |

Balance Points in Excel Charts
Hi,
Add a series and change the chart type for this new series to xy-scatter. You can use either the triangle data marker or a customer marker. And use the xy values to position the marker.
