In this tutorial, we’ll walkthrough how to create a dynamic Line Chart in Excel that compares both Actual and Forecast data, with a vertical line marking the current month. This line will update automatically as the data changes, giving you a clear view of your sales or any time-based data, whether it’s in the past or projected for the future. This is a great technique for anyone looking to visually separate historical and forecasted data, making your charts more informative and easier to understand.

Throughout the video, we’ll go step-by-step how to set up the chart, calculate the correct values for the vertical line, and customize the chart for a professional finish. We’ll cover how to use functions like MAXIFS and MAX to find the latest Actual date and set up the line’s x and y values. Plus, I’ll demonstrate how to format the chart lines to clearly differentiate between the past and future data, as well as how to add final touches like labels and a custom chart title.

Whether you're tracking sales, weather patterns, or any other time-based data, this Excel technique will help you create clean, dynamic charts that are easy to update and interpret.
