I'm trying something similar, adding a VERTICAL line to a HORIZONTAL cluster-stacked chart (rows, not columns), and I can't get it to work! You'd think it'd be similar, but for some reason it isn't. I was successful in adding a horizontal line to a vertical cluster chart per your methods, but I don't seem to be excel-handy enough to convert that to a horizontal bar-style cluster chart - the line simply remains horizontal with the rest of the bars! Can you help me out? Jon – This method and adding a horizontal line to a column chart are GREAT methods, but I can’t get them to work for my purposes.

I wanted to mention (I'm on 2003), my drama was getting the lines to the edges. I had already removed the Pri & Secondary Category labels from the chart (they're not required), so I found it difficult to get to the "Value (Y) axis crosses between categories" option in the Format Axis window. Also, with only the Secondary Categories (and not Primary) activated, the "...crosses between categories" option wasn't available anyway. Maybe these items are accessible via other menus, but when 'playing' that was my experience, and added to some confusion in the last step. Sorted now. Cheers, will definitely be buying you a coffee!! :-) Thanks Jon, excellent addition to clustered-charts and just what I needed ;-)… I wanted to mention (I’m on 2003), my drama was getting the lines to the edges.
