How to plot both measurement points and target/control lines on same chart

Hi I am looking for a way to plot my old measured data alongside my target/upper/lower lines on the same chart. The target occasionally changes which is why I am not just using a Axis reference line.

 

Simplified, my data table has the below columns:

Measured ValueDate & time of measurementTarget (at time of measurement)Upper limit (at time of measurement)Lower Limit (at time of measurement)

 

I have made a paint rendition of roughly what i hope my output will look like when plotted:

Re: How to plot both measurement points and target/control lines on same chart

Using mockup data: add your value and time to graph builder

add target and limits to same y-axis as value

while holding shift click on the line chart to add that with points

From the variables, disable limits from points and value from line

Set up your data as shown above

Go to Graph=>Graph Builder

Drag the Date column to the X axis drop area

Select Measured Value, Target, Upper, Lower columns and drag them to the Y axis drop area

Right click on the graph and select Smoother=>Remove

Right click on the Y axis values and select Move Right

Move the Target, Upper and Lower to the right axis

Right click on the chart and select Points Right =>Change to Line
