Hi
I'm having some issues with error bars on a pivot chart I have created.
The underlying data set is grouped into 3 separate materials.
Each material has several repeat tests associated (so for example the table will have several rows of numerical data, with the first cell in each row containing "Material 1", "Material 2" or "Material 3").
A pivot table is summarising this data, so it can provide either the raw test data or averages for each material.
When I create a pivot chart from this data, all works as expected until I come to add error bars. It seems to calculate the error bars based on the standard deviation of the entire data set rather than the group. So the error bar is the same width and position for material 1, 2 and 3.
Is there any way to make it so that it uses the standard deviation for the group, ie "material 1"?
Many thanks
