About this template
An annotated line chart for Excel that adds labels for important dates dynamically — so you stop repositioning annotations by hand every time the data changes.
Good to know: it's structured to make customization easier, but it isn't fully drag-and-drop. Expect to adjust layouts, labels, and your data structure to fit.
What's included
- A dynamic annotated line chart
- Date annotations that update automatically
- A time-series chart plus a labeled-bar annotation system
How it works
It combines a time-series line chart with labeled bars used as annotations, so the callouts stay put and update as your data updates.
Who it's for
Anyone charting events over time — launches, milestones, incidents.
Excel compatibility
Designed for Microsoft Excel on Windows and Mac — Microsoft 365 or Excel 2021 recommended. Built for Excel, not Google Sheets.
