Thumbs up Answer: Moving data series horizontally (offset) to prevent overlapping

Hi Sami,

Yes, it is possible to move a data series horizontally to prevent overlapping and make the error bars distinguishable from each other. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Select the data series that you want to move.
  2. Right-click on the selected series and choose "Format Data Series" from the context menu.
  3. In the "Format Data Series" pane that appears on the right side of the screen, click on the "Series Options" tab.
  4. Under "Series Options", look for the "Series Overlap" setting. This setting determines how much the series overlap each other. By default, it is set to 0%, which means that the series are stacked on top of each other. You can increase or decrease this value to move the series horizontally. For example, if you set it to 50%, the series will be moved to the right by 50% of the width of the data points.
  5. You can also adjust the gap between the series by changing the "Gap Width" setting under "Series Options". This setting determines the space between the series. By default, it is set to 150%, which means that there is a 50% gap between the series. You can decrease this value to reduce the gap and move the series closer together.

Once you have adjusted the series overlap and gap width, you should be able to see the error bars more clearly and distinguish them from each other.
