Hello everybody, I have a question concerning graphs.
I need a graph to be behind a picture. All I need to see are the dots. In
Word it is possible to insert a picture and then set it "behind text". Is it
possible to do something like that in Excel?
Thanks
 
Hi Mauro

why don't you set the background of your graph to the picture (double click
on the grey bit at the back of the chart - choose fill effects, choose
picture tab, choose select picture and put your picture in there), change
the chart to a line chart (chart / chart type) and then format the chart
series to dots only - double click on the charted series and turn off the
lines

Hope this helps
Cheers

Hello Julie... sorry for the late reply...
your option can probably work but there is a problem. the picture I need to
use is already in the sheet and I don't know how to extract it and make it
jpg.... is there a way I can use it as it is?
thanks again
 
Hi Mauro

not sure, i would click on the picture, do control & c to copy it, and then
paste it into a drawing program and save as a *jpg ... other than that i
really don't know.

Cheers

You're welcome, and thanks for letting me know that it worked.

If you have other questions about graphs, you could post them in the

microsoft.public.excel.charting

newsgroup, where people with an interest in that topic post and answer
questions.
