Bar chart question
I have the following data:
col 1 col 2 col3 _________________ 4 12 18 5 15 31 6 13 19 I would like to create a barchart that shows ONLY ONE bar for the mean of the columns. I know I could create the data separately with only the mean and the bar chart will show up as I want it. BUT I would like to show a Y error bar showing standard deviation for each of the columns. Can this be done? Thanks in advance. Attila |
Bar chart question
Why don't people like to do their own calculations? Enter two rows for
calculations, using AVERAGE() and STDEV(): col 1 col 2 col3 _________________ 4 12 18 5 15 31 6 13 19 _________________ 5 13.33 22.67 [mean] 1 1.53 7.23 [s.d.] Plot the mean values in the chart, then double click the resulting series, select the Y Error Bars tab, select Custom at the bottom, click in the (+) box and select the range containing the calculated SD, and do the same for the (-) box. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "bevpike" wrote in message ...
