In a chart - can I show "today"?

Hi All

In a chart which has say monthname(dateOfX) as the x axis - is it possible to  have a line or something to signify today's date?

This is probably a  bad example,but I hope you understand what I mean.

Good. In case you don't see not many people responding, I would suggest re-creating a new thread by linking it back to this thread.

Hi Rajesh,

I don't think she is looking for just text in chart.

She wants single bar to indicate the today's date present in Date dim.

Please check the above attachment which I have done.

Mahamed.

Hello, Josephine.

I also had this problem and found the solution. When you check the continuous option you can go to the Number Tab and you'll see on the Expression table an entry called "Continuous X-axis" which enable you to choose the correct number format:

Then you can use whatever format you'd like.
