Add a level line.

Add a level line (target, threshold, or benchmark reference line) when you want a fixed value to cut across the chart.

Step 1: Open your chart in the editor

Open any Chartbuddy chart so the editor is active. This works the same in Hub, Embed, Google Slides, and PowerPoint.

Step 2: Right-click the chart background

Right-click an empty area of the chart background. Avoid bars, labels, and legend items. The chart context menu opens.

Step 3: Left-click Add level line

Left-click Add level line. Chartbuddy draws a horizontal line at a starting value.

Step 4: Left-click the level line

Left-click the level line to select it. The line toolbar opens with color, width, style, and value controls.

Step 5: Drag the level line to your value

Left-click and drag the selected line a short distance up or down until it sits on the value you want to mark. The label updates with the line.

Step 6: Left-click Color and pick a swatch

Left-click the Color chip in the toolbar, then Left-click a color swatch so the line reads clearly against the bars.

Watch the short clip above for the full click path.
