How to add line for grand mean to a profile plot of group means

Question & Answer


Question

I wish to produce a profile plot as a line graph where 4 dependent variables represent points on the X axis and there is a line for each of 4 groups. The points on the Y axis represent the means on the respective dependent variables. This graph can be produced with the Chart Builder (from the Graph menu in SPSS). However, I would like to add a fifth line that represents the profile for the grand mean, averaged across all of the cases in the file. Can I request lines for the group means and the grand mean in the same one the line graph dialogs of the Chart Builder?
