Title: Powerplay graph - marking "today" on the x-axis
Post by: GaryC on 18 Sep 2007 07:41:17 PM
Hello ppl - I'm new to Powerplay (for Windows/desktop) and this forum so I hope to learn lots off you guys.  :)

I have a simple line graph that displays $'s on the vertical Y axis and Jan -> Dec on the bottom X axis.

I want to mark on the graph todays current period (Sept) so ppl can visually see which part of the graph is derived from actual figures and what is forecasted/predicted.

I thought a simple vertical line place on or near sept. would do the trick or  a little mark or tick on the X-Axis on or near Sept.

How about shading part of the background one colour and another part a different colour?

Or letting the line be one colour and then changing the colour of the line when it hits September?

I know I'm pushing the limits but I want to avoid exporting to excel if I can.

Thanks all.
