Target line

Afternoon all:

 

I have a line graph that shows montly percentages across a rolling 12 month period for three metrics.  Is it possible to put a target line on the graph for each of the three metrics?  For example: Metric 1 has a target of 5%, Metric 2 has a target of 22%, Metric 3 has a target of xx %. Thos target line would extend across the line graph. This would allow to see where each metric is relative to target each month.

 

TIA for any help.
