Default Using drop lines with XY scatter chart

I want to use the drop lines with a XY scatter chart, but unfortunately that
option is not available under 'Format Data Series'----'Options'.
I know that this drop line option is available with other chart types like
'Line', problem is I can't use the Line chart type since it can't correcty
represent my data set.
I want a workable solution.

XY charts don't have drop lines, but you can substitute an error bar. Double
click on the series, click on either Error Bar tab, and select a negative
error bar, select the Percentage option, and enter 100%. If the axes still
intersect at (0,0), 100% is the distance from each point to the axis.
