I’ve cooked up an interactive spreadsheet that demonstrates some of these and other tricks; in my work I do this a lot but of course I cannot use proprietary data for a public blog so for this example I used some international population data from the US Census website: http://mdhealy.home.sprynet.com/WorldPopulationInteractiveEstimates.xls

Have fun, you can do whatever you want with this but drop me a line (mdhealy at sprynet.com) to let me know what you think.

Frederik -

I used a series with one point, whose coordinates are the X and Y mean values. The point has custom error bars with values calculated to extend to the limits of the plot area.

How did you add the mean values as a “crosshair” in the center of the x y scatter chart?
