How to draw Lines on a 2D Clustered Column Chart in Excel

Hi Wondered if anyone can help. I'm trying to draw horizontal line on a 2D column chart. 

When I try and 'Add Chart Element' The option to select' lines' is greyed out. Is that because of the type of chart I am trying to use? 

Anyone any idea how I can draw straight horizontal line at certain value on my column chart? 

Thanks in advance.

    Add data to the source range with the value you want.

    Add this as a series to the chart.

    Select this series.

    On the Chart Design tab of the ribbon, click Change Chart Type.

    Change the type of the new series to Line.
