Hi GD
The workbook contains a large collection of methods and chart styles for adding a datum line to charts.

Than you both for responding - but no that is not what I want.... Lets say I have two data sets
A B
4.5 3.2
5.6 4.4
3.2 2.9
2.5 1.5
I need series A made into a normal horizontal bar graph
and series B need to be dots that appear on each of the corresponding bar.
eg. the first bar will be 4.5 and at point 3.2 there will be a dot that appears on the 4.5 bar.
I hope this makes sense.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Can't make it work with a horizontal bar chart, but it can work with a column chart.
Select the series that you want as DOTS.
menu item Chart/Chart Type - and select a LINE chart
Format the line series and set the line patterna to NONE.

You need to create a bar and xy-scatter combination.
4.5 3.2 0.5
5.6 4.4 1.5
3.2 2.9 2.5
2.5 1.5 3.5
Create the bar chart as normal using the first 2 columns of data.
Select the 2nd set of bars and change the chart type to xy scatter, markers only.
Now use the Source Data dialog to change the X and Y values.
X values use the 2nd column of values and Y values use the 3rd column of values.
Simply delete the secondary x and y axes.
You should now have dots at the required value in the vertical center of each bar.
