It has a few steps, but it's worth the effort. (Note that these directions were made using Excel for Mac 2008, but you should be able to make it work for Windows too. The buttons just might be in a slightly different place.) 1. Make a column for the minimum and maximum values for each set of numbers. Label them "Real Minimum" and "Real Maximum." 2.

Excel It would be nice if all data was perfect, absolute and complete. But when it isn't, Excel gives us some useful tools to convey margins of error and standard deviations. If you work in a field that needs to reflect an accurate range of data error, then follow the steps below to add Error Bars to your charts and graphs: Begin by creating your spreadsheet and generating the chart or graph you will be working with. To follow using our example below, download Standard Deviation Excel Graphs Template1 and use Sheet 1. These steps will apply to Excel 2013. Images were taken using Excel 2013 on the Windows 7 OS. Click on the chart, then click the Chart Elements Button to open the fly-out list of checkboxes. Put a check in the Error Bars checkbox. Click the arrow beside the Error Bars checkbox to choose from common error types: Standard Error – Displays standard error amount for all values. Percentage – Specify a percentage error range and Excel will calculate the error amount for each value. Default percentage is 5%. Standard Deviation – Displays standard deviation error amount for all values. Resulting X &Y error bars will be the same size and won't vary with each value. You can also turn on Error bars from the Add Chart Element dropdown button on the Design tab under the Chart Tools contextual tab.
