Error bars with Excel 2013 - Both top and bottom tail

Old forum General discussion

Hiya,

I was wondering if there’s a way to default error bars to top and bottom in Excel 2013?
When using an older version of excel it would do both tails as default with the cell locations automatically pasted in, but with Excel 2013 i have to select each set of error bars > Format Error Bars > Both > Custom > Specify Value > copy cell locations from Top to Bottom.

Many thanks
Aidan

Hi,

please have a look at the XL Toolbox Preferences, “Error bars” tab. You can make the error bars always point in both directions.

Kind regards
