How to get Vertical reference lines parallel to Y axis ?

Hi folks,

I am having little problem displaying Reference lines parallel to Y axis. Here is the description:

I have a filed "Month" which holds data for 3 years (in format like Jan-10 through Dec-10,Jan-09 through Dec-09,Jan-11-Dec-11).I want to plot expression (say Sum(Sales)) against this dimension and it is working all fine. Now I want to have reference lines at the end of each year i.e. on Dec-09, and Dec-10 . The "Month" field in not a calculated dimension and is directly from DB.

I have attched the sample layout below.Need your suggestions.

I am not sure of your meaning, but if you mean that you can't get vertical reference lines, then remember that the X-axis must be continuous. Go to Axes and check the "Continuous" option for the Dimension axis.
