custom error 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 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_excel-mso_other/individual-error-bars-in-excel-2007/9090ab0f-de24-4915-adab-f93c66edc58c actual X and 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 http://peltiertech.com/custom-error-bars-in-excel-charts/ and F2 have the values for the positive and negative vertical (Y) error bars for this point.

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.

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 va

But when it isn't, Excel gives us some useful http://www.pryor.com/blog/add-error-bars-and-standard-deviations-to-excel-graphs/ tools to convey margins of error and standard deviations.
