Is there a way to get a reference line in a graph from metadata in the column header row.
Example: Process Capability Analysis.
would like to save the specification limits in the column header row. These specification limits should be used as reference lines in a histogram.

Hi Riri,
Just FYI, we just announced Origin 2022b release, which include this improvement.
You can defined a named for column label cell and use it when setting reference line expression.
When value changes in worksheet, graph will update.
Please visit Originlab.com/2022b for highlights and how to upgrade.
Best, Snow |

Sorry, no workaround in 2020. Named range is new in Origin 2022.
Thanks, Snow

Sorry that we don't support this. We created ORG-24566 to support it in the future version.
For now,
one workaround in Origin 2022 is to put such value in data area, e.g. a new column in this worksheet. Or a totally new sheet. U can click the cell and use Ctrl+L to define a name for the cell e.g. call it lower. set scope to Project level.
Then in Reference lines dialog, u can choose expression and enter lower.
Such value will draw as reference line. And when u change the cell value in the future. U can press F5 in graph to referesh it to show new reference line location.
Thanks, Snow
Hi snow, is there also a workaround for Origin 2020? |

1. Do you mean the data of reference lines are stored in column label rows?
2. You want to plot straight reference lines into different histogram, right? Or you have to plot a line with all these data points stored in the column label rows.
1: yes correct. see example attached. reference line should be at 3.0 and if the value is changed the reference line in the graph should move accordingly
2: should be a straight line based on a value in the column label row |

Hi RiRi,
I want to confirm your request:
1. Do you mean the data of reference lines are stored in column label rows?
2. You want to plot straight reference lines into different histogram, right? Or you have to plot a line with all these data points stored in the column label rows.
To plot a straight lines, you can use this tool:
https://www.originlab.com/doc/X-Function/ref/addline
You can set the cell value in the label row as position.
Thanks,
Shirley
