limit length of horizontal reference line

Hi,

I have a bar chart with a horizontal reference line.  I want the reference line to only extend as far as the first bar and not all the way across the chart.

Is there a way yo do that?BarChartRefLine.jpg

Than you for any help you can offer.

A reference line will always span the entire plot width. If you fix the min and max scale values of the y-axis you could put a line object on top of the chart. You could also use error bars, but those won't be wider than the bars so you wouldn't get a line, but line segments each spanning a bar.

Hi Brian,

Its not possible because there is no option in reference line settings to limit it.

Hi Gysbert,

Thank you.

I didn't think there was anyway to easily limit the length.

I think what I have will work.

Thank you again for the help,

Brian
