Excel - Stock Chart questions

[Greg]

How do I create a stock chart where the 'closing price' is OUTSIDE of the
High-low range?

Basically, I'm plotting sales forecasts accuracy - so I'm comparing the
final result with their high-low range. I like the stock chart format, but
can't figure-out how to plot the closing price (whisker?) outside of the range

 

[Jon Peltier]

At least two ways exist:

1. Change the Close series to an XY type, then format the XY series to use
the primary axis.

2. Format the Close series to plot on the secondary axis, then use Chart
Options > Axes (or the corresponding commands on the middle Chart Tools
contextual tab in the ribbon) to remove the secondary axes.

Jon - thanks, this is very helpful - I can easily do #2.

For #1 - can you please explain how I change the Close series to an XY type?

Thanks for your help

Greg -

Right click on the series, choose (Change) Chart Type, and select an XY
style from the dialog. By selecting a series first, you limit the change to
the selected series.
