Clustered Column chart<\/strong>, as this chart is one of the most widely used ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe will create it based on the data of NBA players and their points<\/strong> in one night of basketball:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter doing that, we will resort to creating a simple Clustered Column chart<\/strong>, by selecting our range (A1:B11<\/strong>) and then going to Insert tab >> Charts<\/strong> and finding and choosing Clustered Column chart<\/strong> that is located under 2-D Columns<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt is noticeable that we get the preview of our chart, and when we choose it, it will be the same, as shown in the picture below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow we need to create an additional table with x and y values<\/strong> (horizontal and vertical ones<\/strong>). We want to present the average values horizontally, so our x values<\/strong> will be equal to the averages of all the points<\/strong> (two values), while the y values will be values 0 and 10<\/strong> (the number of players in our table):<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe will then copy this data (range D2:E3<\/strong>), click on our chart, and go to the Home tab<\/strong>, where we will find Paste special option<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn a window that appears when we click on Paste Special<\/strong>, we will choose New series <\/strong>under Add cells as an <\/strong>option, Columns <\/strong>in Values (Y)<\/strong>, and click on Categories (X Labels) in First Column<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen we click OK<\/strong>, we will have the chart presented as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo make these two orange lines horizontal<\/strong>, we need to change the type of our chart. We will do so by clicking on it, and then choosing the Change Chart Type <\/strong>option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nOn the window that appears, we need to choose Combo chart<\/strong> at the end of it, and then choose Scatter with Straight Lines<\/strong> as a chart for Series2<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe can still see that the average line is not where it should be. For the full effect, we need to uncheck<\/strong> the Secondary Axis button<\/strong> for Series2<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs seen in the preview, we will have our data presented in the way we want. We will click OK<\/strong> and have our chart set:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs seen, we lost the title of our chart along the way. To add it again, we will simply click on the chart, then on the plus sign on the upper right side<\/strong>, and choose Chart Title<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThen we can insert whatever we want- Points<\/strong> in our case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have already explained the possibility of adding a vertical line to the Excel Bar Chart.
