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 error bars 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 turned into a nightmare.

For example, you could show 5 percent positive and negative potential error amounts in the results of a scientific experiment: You can add error bars to data series in a 2-D area, bar, column, line, xy (scatter), and bubble charts.

Standard Error and Standard Deviation use the following equations to calculate the error amounts that are shown on the chart. This option Uses this equation Where Standard Error s = series number i = point number in series s m = number of series for point y in chart n = number of points in each series yis = data value of series s and the ith point ny = total number of data values in all series Standard Deviation s = series number i = point number in series s m = number of series for point y in chart n = number of points in each series yis = data value of series s and the ith point ny = total number of data values in all series M = arithmetic mean Top of Page Add error bars On 2-D area, bar, column, line, xy (scatter), or bubble chart, do one of the following: To add error bars to all data series in the chart, click the chart area.
