214457 2004-02-11 01:43:00 I have not got the Chart menu (not icon) in Excel (XP). I need it to draw trend lines. How do I get it to appear in my menu line?
Thanks

Drag the chart toolbar up to the other toolbars and dock it there if you wish. ;-)

Drag the chart icon to your existing toolbar.

214460 2004-02-11 02:42:00 Sorry, I am a bit think or not explaining myself well - I want the Chart menu to appear, as it should, between Tools and Window. I have the Chart wizard but I need the menu so I can do things such as "add trend line."

214461 2004-02-11 03:50:00 you need to create the chart, select the data series then choose add trendline from the chart menu.

214462 2004-02-11 05:47:00 Hi Bernie, the Chart menu is what may be described as an object sensitive menu, meaning it only appears if an action that you want to do is possible based upon what is selected in the sheet.

If you have a chart drawn (I presume you do) then click on any cell and you will see there is a menu item called Data. Now click on the Chart itself and you will see the Data menu is replaced by the Chart menu.

Depending upon what you have selected you may get different menus or options in Excel. For example, the Redo button in the standard toolbar will be disabled (greyed out) until you first Undo something.
