Custom error bars is a feature I've found myself needing quite frequently this semester now that I have a physics class. Error bars are required on every chart for every lab, and custom error bars were the only way to get them right.<br>
<br>
This wasn't a problem in Excel 2003; that had the options I needed, but it was not Intel compatible (it ran really slow). Upgrading to office 2008 was going to be great (fast, new look, better features), but it has turned into a nightmare. I am forced to rely on remote access to my parent's computer (with office 2007) to do my homework, and installing Excel 2004 again won't be an option for weeks.<br>
<br>
As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any reason to remove custom error bars from the chart options in Excel 2008, but they are gone.<br>
<br>
All I want to know is: Where did custom error bars go? Why are they gone? And will they ever be brought back, or will I be stuck with Excel 2004? |

Excel 2004 is fine... except that it is not Intel native. That is why I was so excited to upgrade: I was tired of painfully slow applications with strange compatibility issues (like Word's notebook view crashing when I stopped the audio recordings sometimes).<br>
<br>
Other than Excel 2008, I'm pretty happy with this new version of Office. Even Entourage is useable now. I just wish I didn't have to downgrade Excel and / or use a different computer just to make my charts. >> Stay informed about: Custom Error Bars in Excel 2008: Where did they go? |

Yes, I think there were a lot of things that were "left in" for
compatibility, but removed due to the development effort to support the UI.
I agree, I hope we'll see a bunch of these back before long.

Hi all,
They are still there, just not very easy to find. After you make your
graph, click so the whole data series is selected. Then right-click
and hit "Format Data Series" and error bars is an option in there.
Cheers,
Joe

I am so glad I am not the only one with this problem!! I've been driving myself crazy the past day with formating my charts in Excel 2008. Corentin--thanks for the tip about editing in 2004 then opening in 2008. Although, it's not the ideal way to make charts--it works.
I just can't believe they left out the custom error bar feature! It's vital to the accurate portrayal of any data set!

that we're working on getting this addressed as soon as we can.
Thanks,
