Error bars not working?

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Hi there,

I have generated a simple scatter plot with a couple of data points. Adding symmetric error bars with Variable*0.25 changes bubble size with no error bars to be seen. Any ideas what is going on? Before

After:

Best,

Florian

Would you able to provide sample

after checking "has Error Bars" you have to define the error range for this (main-) expression. To do so expand the according expression using the [+] in front of it. With the last option you can define the range of the "Error Symmetric". For ex. "Expression * .1" to show an error range of +/-10% of Expression ( normally identical with the choose Main-Expression).

Note: the range is depending on your data point.

this is exactly what I tried. Attached I have mocked up a simple example.

For x I have set up a simple 25% error bar. What it does is, it generates something, but no error bars.

Where is my mistake?

Thanks a ton, Florian

I think this option is only available for bar, line and combo charts...

Are you expecting something like below:

It seems that it works correctly for bar, line and combo, but does not get grayed out for scatter charts. That's why it returns something weird. I will try to use some other chart type.

Nevertheless, I see no reason why there should be no error bar feature for scatter plots.

Thanks
