i am creating a bar graph with death rates for 8 cities in los angeles for a
particular disease. Now I would like to draw a constant line at a particular
rate through the entire bar graph to indicate the target rate.
 
Thanks that was very helpful. I got stuck on a minute detail: Label Last
Point. Currently the value of my horiz line is labeled at the 0 x-axis point
and it is also labeled at the 1-axis point on my secondary axis. I was
reading through the link titled "Label Last Point" but it is talking about
creating a module. I'm not exactly sure how to do that. Any ideas?
 
You need to go to the VBE (visual basic editor) within excel ALT+F11
In the project window you should see your current workbook. Select it
and then via the menus Insert > Module. This will add a code module to
your project. You can then copy/paste the code.

Here is a non vba solution
