Hi,
I have a bar graph created showing various percentages. When I add the goal percentage numbers to the data and add them to the source data, it shows up as an additional column. I would like it to appear as a line across the graph at the appropriate percentage mark. I have done it with a line graph before but don't seem to be able to do it with the bar graph. Thanks!

I assume that you mean Column graph and not Bar graph. Select the goal series and change chart type for that series to Line graph

Cheers, Glenn.
