Re: Area Charts - Filling in above only



Create a stacked area chart with one line for each of the zones of
interest (and one for mid point line). If all the zones are of equal
size, use a y value of 1 for each series. Alternatively, adjust them
for your own requirements.

0 1
Empty space 1 1
Danger zone 1 1
Safe zone 1 1
Midpoint 0 0
Safe zone 1 1
Danger zone 1 1
Empty space 1 1

In step 2 of the chart wizard ensure you select 'data are in rows.'
Now, format each zone as desired.
