White gridlines that visible over columns?

Does anyone know if or how I can have white major gridlines that are in
effect 'on top of' the columns in a chart? I'm trying to create a white
backgrounded histogram, with white horizontal gridlines that are effectively
only visible as they 'bisect' the coloured columns.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

You can create your own gridlines using an additional data series
plotted as an XY scatter chart. then use the X Error bars to draw your
lines.

Cheers Andy,

I've done what you suggested & with a bit of fiddling have got it just as I
wanted. I've been reading Tufte & want to implement some of his avoiding
chart-junk & maximising data-ink ideas (not something Excel lends itself
to:-)

Thanks

Jay
