Error bars not working?

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

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

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

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
