Hi Jon,
I am having a truely frustrating time trying to plot some data in excel 2007. I have plotted many scatter plots with custom error bars with no problems at all….until I try to plot this one particular data set. For some reason, witout fail, regardless of which computer I am on, regardless of which spreadhseet the data is in, I get the old “Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close…”. I am at a total loss. Something about this particular data set (which is very similar to all the others I have plotted previously) is causing this. Any tips or advice would be super!
Cheers
Anne

Hi Monica -

The add-in should work fine in Excel 2010. It’s very simple, and shouldn’t interfere with anything else. Even if it did, you could uninstall it easily enough.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for this! It will be so incredibly time saving, especially if you add the drop down for selecting a series. I actually like your “intermediate approach” better here – it seems like this would work faster despite the extra clicks, especially if there would be a way to include “next series” and “previous series” buttons… though I have no idea how easy or complicated that would be. I’m so glad you posted this!

I just got Excel 2010 on my home computer, and I’m wondering if this is compatible. I saw posts further up, but I couldn’t tell if they were adding more, or if they were figuring out compatibility. I’m worried about running an Add-On that I shouldn’t, and somehow causing problems.

Hi Jon

Am getting very frustrated.

I often need two vertical axis, in bar chart format, to illustrate two sets of data.

I have Microsof 7 (version 2010)

Thanks Jon

a drop down menu for multiple series would be the way to go then. Thanks for building this the error bar tool, you make peoples work life much more bearable and excel a whole lot less tedious.

cheers
