Error bars are required on every chart for every lab, and custom error bars were the only way to get them right. This wasn't a problem in Excel 2003; that had the options I needed, but it was not Intel compatible (it ran really slow). Upgrading to office 2008 was going to be great (fast, new look, better features), but it has error bar turned into a nightmare. I am forced to rely on remote access to my parent's computer (with office 2007) to do my homework, and installing Excel 2004 again won't be an option for weeks. As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any reason to remove custom error bars from the chart options in Excel 2008, but they are gone. All I want to know is: Where did custom error bars go? Why are they gone? And will they ever be brought back, or will how to add I be stuck with Excel 2004? Custom Error Bars in Excel 2008: Where did they go?

They are not anywhere, just not a feature of this release of Excel. > > Why are they gone? Donšt know for sure, but probably because Microsoft had to make some critical schedule vs. feature decisions; and as a result, cut the feature to make the shipping schedule. > > And will they ever be brought back, Your guess is as good as mine. > > or will I be stuck with Excel 2004? If you really need them, I guess you are stuck with Excel 2004 until (if ever) they are implemented in Excel 2008, or Excel 2012, or Excel 5000. You need to express your concern and disappointment to Microsoft by using Help-Send Feedback. -- Bob Greenblatt [MVP], Macintosh bobgreenblattATmsnDOTcom Bob Greenblatt gmedding@officeformac.com Guest Posts: n/a Re: Custom Error Bars in Excel 2008: Where did they go? Posted: 02-05-2008, 07:32 PM Thanks for the reply, but I had a feeling that was the answer that I would get. It is frustrating, but I'll have to find a way to deal with it. I did take your advice to send Microsoft feedback. gmedding@off
