Series Lines in Stacked Column Charts
How can I add series lines to my stack column charts in Numbers or Keynote?
Looks like it's possible to do it in Excel, but I can't find a way to do it in Numbers or Keynote.
Thank you.

After playing around with the options for a while I see no easy way of adding the lines.
If you really need them I think you will have to add them by hand.
Or consider a different chart type, like 2D Stacked Area, which conveys the same information in a somewhat cleaner format.

I agree that for multiple series points, the area chart would be cleaner. But I'm needing to show only two columns: a before and an after.
So you included an example with 5 columns just to keep us guessing?😀
If you've only got 2 columns then I suggest adding the lines manually.

Thank you for giving it look as well, SG. I agree that for multiple series points, the area chart would be cleaner. But I'm needing to show only two columns: a before and an after. I was thinking the lines would accentuate the extent of the differences between them, as that's what I would be discussing with clients.
Sorry about that, SG. I just grabbed a screen shot from the web that had five columns.
No worries. With two columns manually adding the lines may work, though you'll probably need to adjust and readjust them. (With five columns that would be too much of a pain).
