Default custom chart... please help!

Precisely, I just am not sure what the user wants and I don't want to spend a
lot of time going in the wrong direction. If its a box and whisker there are
numerious ways to do that. If you wants error bars, there are many ways to
do that, but, who knows?

That's different than I envisioned. I thought the person wanted a summary
similar to a box and whisker chart but showing the points in addition to the
summary bars.

It's possible to have a column and xy scatter but...

I think we would need to see some sample data and an explanation of what
the
desired results would be for that sample.


I think he means each marker in the scatter chart to be a tiny column
chart. I've done something like that before, using error bars for the
columns. There needs to be a sort of horizontal jitter to separate the
columns from each other, and a way to mark where the exact point on the
scatter chart is meant to be.
