from a table representing promotional response to advertising on three products in twenty major US markets. (Actually, it’s just a 20×3 table with horizontal error bars excel 2013 =RAND()*RAND().) Here’s the chart: When you create a chart in Excel 2013, three buttons appear just above the upper-right hand corner. Click on the “plus” button to add new chart elements – check “Error Bars” and error bars http://www.pryor.com/blog/add-error-bars-and-standard-deviations-to-excel-graphs/ will magically appear on your chart. A task pane opens on the right side of the screen. This pane lets you customize the range and formatting of the error bars. Click on one of the error bars, and then on the “bars” icon in the task pane to see range options: Usually I want to supply my own values for the top and bottom based on formulas. Suppose I want to display 95% confidence intervals using the series https://nathanbrixius.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/adding-error-bars-to-charts-in-excel-2013/ data. First I need to compute standard deviations for each series using STDEV.P: =STDEV.P(A2:A21) Then compute the 95% confidence value using CONFIDENCE.NORM: =CONFIDENCE.NORM(0.05,F3,COUNT(A2:A21)) Row 4 has the 95% confidence values for each of the three series. I’d like to base my error bars on these values. Click on Custom. Clicking on the “Specify Value” button brings up a dialog box: The "Positive Error Value” range selector lets me enter in a constant value or more interestingly, cell range that defines the top of the error bars, as an offset from the bar. Similarly, “Negative Error Value” defines the bottom of the error bars. Again, these are offsets, not absolute values. Therefore I want to use F4:H4 for both. Select those ranges, click OK and voila: a nice looking chart with error bars. If I change the values in columns F-H, the error bars change too. The other Error Amount choices in the Error Bar task pane are simpler. For example, Standard Deviation means that the top and bottom will be one standard deviation from the mean across all series: “Fixed value” and “Percentage” are obvious. “Standard Error” computes the top and bottom using the standard error of the corresponding series. The documentation describes the formulas used by Excel. This feature was not widely advertised in the Excel 2013 release, but it’s really useful. Charts just look better, too. All

I only want vertical error bars, but I keep getting both horizontal and vertical error bars, also, is it possible for me to change each individual error bar or are changes made to 1 error bar automatically applied to all other error bars in the graph? Wednesday, March 16, 2011 12:26 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote Hi Go through the menus to display the Vertical error bar dialog. When the dialog for vertical error bars is visible click the horizontal error bars on your chart. When you do this the dialog will change to the horizontal error bar dialog. It not the normal way things work via menus but the dialog is there. You may need to do some repositioning of the dialog to click where you need to. I found this most frustrating with the second part of the problem as the dialog is not the active element and connot be moved whilst entering the range for error bar values.G North MMI Marked as answer by David WoltersModerator Thursday, March 17, 2011 3:09 PM Wednesday, March 16, 2011 2:28 PM Reply | Quote All replies 0 Sign in to vote Hi In 2010 it is possible to acheive your request. On the Layout tab of Chart tools select Error bars ->More Error Bar Options. This will give you the settings for Vertical error bars. Now click the horizontal error bar ad the dialog will change to Horizontal Error Bar options. Set the Fixed value to 0. For the different values for each error bar you will need to populate a range with the values you want to use for each error bar in the order they appear on the series. Again in the More Error Bar options. Click Custom and then Specify. in the dialog displayed replace the current contents with the reference to the cells containing your error bar values (Sheet1!G1:G10 as an example). Alternatively you can select the range using your mouse. Hope this helpsG North MMI Wednesday, March 16, 2011 1:07 PM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote Hey Itried doing that but here's
