I have an XY chart set up as a histogram and want to add vertical lines to indicate target/min/max. I've found a couple posts with some solutions but they aren't working for me. I have a second data source with the target/min/max data and confirmed that it's working correctly. series.1.data is set to the 2nd data source but I don't have a y reference since it's a single row of data. Can I bind the series.1.data.y to the count from series.0.data.y? How would I do that? edit: another thought: Would I be better off doing a JOIN on the named query and adding the target/min/max to the first dataset? ---

Duplicate post: > [@Xy chart line area but vertically](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/xy-chart-line-area-but-vertically/78258): > > I have an XY chart with Target and Minimum lines that I would like to use the area between as good. Following the documentation I have series.1.line.open.x and series.2.open.x set to point toward each other but no area shading appears. Has anyone gotten this to work in a vertical band vs. horizontal? In the example below, I'd like to have the area between the black and red lines shaded. [image] Please don't do that. Edit your first post to improve it! ---
