A target line is a special line that is drawn on an Excel graph to show the desired value of the data. It is often used to compare the actual data with the target to find out how far you are from achieving your goal.

Target lines can be added by using two methods: manually, by adding a series of points and connecting them with a line; or by using conditional formatting.
