Hi,

Anyone know what the line in the first bar chart is called? I call it
a "summary" line,

I've always called it "Timmy" -- but you may call it whatever you want.

The "summary" line, as shown on your chart, is simply a line graph, there is no specific name for it that I am aware -- unless you want to make one up -- after all, it's your chart.

You may call it whatever you want, provided the term is not used for something else. For example, it is not a trend line, nor an axis, nor a regression, nor series average line -- it's simply a line graph.

BTW -- What is it with you and graphs? Are you creating a library for charting?

Cheers,

tedd

PS: Per Jesse was correct about the trend line.
