How to Add Lines In An Excel Clustered Stacked Column Chart?

In Excel, a chart is a tool you may use to visually convey data. Charts are used in Microsoft Excel to provide a graphical representation of any set of data. Scientific, statistical, and technical data are frequently represented and compared using scatter plots.
