The error bars are also drawn using all the error bar data at once: C2:C6 and D2:D6 for horizontal and E2:E6 and F2:F6 for vertical. The chart itself is easy: create an XY chart using the data in columns A and B. The protocols for adding custom error bars differ between Classic Excel and new Excel. After following the appropriate protocol below, the chart will have custom error bars on each data point, based on the additional columns of data.

I then set up error bars using the values in the min and max column (columns 3 and 4 above) as custom values in the "error amount" part of the format data series dialog.

I thought this would work perfectly, however, only the plus side of the error bar is showing up, not the minus side. And in the format data series dialog I DO have it set to show both. So, I was wondering if anyone had run into this before, and if there is a reason and a solution. I want the minus part of the error bars to show.
