Peltier Technical Services, Inc., Copyright © 2016. I've written about Excel chart error bars in Error Bars in Excel Charts for Classic Excel and in Error Bars in Excel 2007 Charts for New Excel. Both articles contained instructions for adding custom error bar how to add error bars in excel 2015 values for individual points, but judging from the emails I receive, a separate article on custom excel custom error bars not displaying properly error bars is needed. You cannot add custom error bar values to a single point in a chart. However, you can individual custom error custom error bars excel 2016 bar values to all points in a plotted series. You need to put all of the individual error bar values into a range of the worksheet. I usually put these values in the same table as the actual X and http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_excel-mso_other/individual-error-bars-in-excel-2007/9090ab0f-de24-4915-adab-f93c66edc58c Y values Manually Defining Custom Error Bars Sample Data and Charts Suppose we have the following data: X and Y values, plus extra columns with positive and negative error bar values for both X and Y directions. The data is set up so that, for example, cells C2 and D2 have the values for the positive and negative horizontal (X) error bars for the point defined by X and Y values in A2 and B2. Cells E2 and F2 have the values http://peltiertech.com/custom-error-bars-in-excel-charts/ for the positive and negative vertical (Y) error bars for this point. The series is plotted using all the data at once, with X in A2:A6 and Y in B2:6. 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. This chart shows just the Y error bars, to show clearly that each point has custom values different from other points: This chart shows the X and Y error bars: Important Note A single custom error bar value cannot be added to a single data point, and custom error bar values cannot be added to a series of data points one point at a time. If you select a single value for your custom error bars, this single value will be applied to all points in the series. A whole set of custom error bar values can be added to an entire series in one operation. Put your custom values into a range parallel to your X and Y values as I've done with this sample data, then use t

But the data points are percentages and each data point has a different error range depending on the sample size. So far as I can tell, the error bar formatting tool only allows me to set the same error range for the entire series. Is there a way to address each data point separately with regard to the error bars? Currently running 2004 on a Mac but I have just loaded 2008. I've tried in both and can't seem to make any progress. Thanks, Brian Last edited by Andy Pope; 11-05-2008 at 06:34 AM.

Where you can give each point a unique value. If this is not the case on Mac version the work around would be to calculate on the Custom points and draw them with additional data series.
