Excel - Line chart with reference values

I am ploting a serie of data points using a line chart. I want these data point compared to a fixed minimum value, maximum value and target value. The only way I have found to draw the min, max and target lines on my graph is to have a column for each with the same amount of data as my data points in my source table. It is a bit annoying and I'd rather have an option in my graph where I set a min, max and target value and they appear as traced lines on the graph. The data points of my original serie may be out of these limits so I don't want to change my graph axis parameters. I have a graph example that I can send if needed.

Excel tip:

How to select certain data in an Excel 2010 workbook

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.

For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.

Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
